In 2003, Mimi took over ownership and full time management of the 777 Buffalo Ranch. The 777 Buffalo Ranch’s decision makers manage roughly 28,000 acres and 1700 head of bison through 25 paddocks for meat and live animal sales. This area typically gets around 16 inches of precipitation with the majority of this coming in the spring. Using Holistic Management, Mimi has reclaimed the land over the years, bringing back the native vegetation, insects and wildlife that co-existed with the buffalo in days gone by mimicking the predator and prey relationship that once existed. The health and resilience of the 777 Buffalo Ranch is directly related to the abundance and diversity of its plant, insect, bird, microorganisms, and animal species. On the ranch, plant diversity is increasing having many species of native cool and warm season grasses, flowering forbs, shrubs, and trees while bare ground and the amount of space between plants have declined significantly.
