Virginia, are the backbone of the ranch.
In addition to Caren's duties at the bank,
she oversees all aspects of the extensive
operation, manages day-to-day, and is
hands-on virtually every day. Regularly
providing support and guidance for the
ranch, Virginia still does a significant
amount of cooking for the operation,
sometimes feeding up to 30 hungry
hands. She also pays bills, assists with
bookkeeping, and is available 24/7 to
care for anything needed.
William Nefsy first acquired what
would become part of the Foster Creek
unit in the early 1960s and later added
the Liscom Creek unit in the 1970s.
Smaller parcels were added throughout
the years until his death in 1997.
C.M. Coffee was also a rancher. He
moved to Montana after an honorable
discharge from the United States Army
Air Corps shortly after World War II
where he was a tail gunner in a B-24
Liberator. C.M. competed in numerous
rodeo events and won saddle bronc,
roping, dogging and all-around titles
in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico
before moving to Montana. Once in the
Treasure State, he successfully competed
in the top venues, including the Calgary
Stampede, Wolf Point Stampede, and the
Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. But, his
first love was always ranching.
Caren Coffee, of Miles City, saddles up her horse early in the morning on branding day at the
Tongue River Ranch south of Miles City, Montana.
