Yellowstone Dutton Ranch is the largest ranch in the United States located in the Paradise Valley in Park County, Montana, east of Bozeman and west of Livingston. The ranch is owned by Kayce Dutton. His family has owned the land for seven generations and has been under constant threat by land developers, casino moguls, and the Broken Rock Reservation.
