The Warren Livestock Company epitomizes Wyoming’s Western Heritage and exemplifies a genuine love for the region’s natural beauty. Their dedication to preserving the ranch’s historical significance is demonstrated through their sincere and genuine environmental stewardship.
The Samuelson Family personifies the true essence of philanthropy and community dedication. Since 2018, their generous contributions to the Cheyenne Frontier Days Foundation have had a transformative impact on the cherished event. Through their unwavering support, Doug and Susan have helped preserve and enhance our iconic celebration, ensuring that it remains a vibrant and beloved tradition for years to come. Their commitment to investing in the cultural fabric of Cheyenne is truly commendable.

Buckeye Ranch
Owned and operated by the Herz Family, Buckeye Ranch—located in Albany County, and homesteaded in the 1870s—shares many a similarity with the beloved tradition of Cheyenne Frontier Days.
In both cases, the heart of the operation is equal parts Western beauty, Wyoming grit, and a desire to preserve history for future generations. And, much like Buckeye Ranch, Cheyenne Frontier Days maintains a harmonious balance between progress and preservation.
As Cheyenne Frontier Days is among the greatest expressions of community spirit in the world—and one of the greatest opportunities to preserve the heritage of the great American West—Buckeye Ranch is honored to contribute to the celebration’s ongoing success.
