Meet Mark & Kate Brewster

Welcome to Brewster Ranch. We’re Mark and Kate Brewster, and we’re glad you’re here. Our story is about hard work, tradition, and a deep respect for the land and animals. We’re committed to keeping the Western way of life alive, just as generations before us did.

Meet Mark Brewster
Mark’s roots run deep at Brewster Ranch. From a young age, he followed his dad and grandpa, learning the ropes of ranching and the importance of hard work. The changing seasons, the cattle, and the sound of saddles became second nature to him. After studying agriculture in Powell, Wyoming, Mark always found his way back to the ranch, where he knew he was meant to be.

Mark’s passion for horsemanship is one of the cornerstones of his life. He learned saddle making and leatherworking from Jim Warner, a respected craftsman, and has spent decades starting colts, understanding the horses’ minds and building a solid foundation for them to become dependable partners in the field. His love for horses extends far beyond simple riding. It’s about the connection, the communication, and the understanding between man and horse that makes his work both effective and rewarding.

Mark’s skill as a roper is well-known. He’s won numerous team doctorings, and ranch rodeos. His experience ranges from roping at fast-paced brandings to the steady work of ranch rodeos where his skill with both horse and rope keeps cattle moving and organized. This dedication to horsemanship is what makes him an essential part of any ranching operation.

While his horsemanship is a passion, Mark's love for cattle runs even deeper. Raising Black Baldy cattle is more than just a job for him; it’s a lifelong commitment. Mark has always had an intuitive understanding of cattle, from their behavior to their needs. He focuses on breeding cattle that are hardy, efficient, and able to thrive in tough conditions. His deep respect for the animals is evident in the way he handles them—whether it’s with quiet authority or a calm, steady hand during branding or calving season.

Mark’s work doesn’t stop at the ranch. He’s spent over 20 years with the Ten Sleep Fire Department and has worked at the Worland Livestock Auction for more than 15 years. Through all his experiences, he’s gained a vast amount of knowledge and skills that he brings back to the ranch each day.

He’s not only a skilled horseman and cattleman, but also a dedicated member of the community. Mark serves on the rodeo committee, the fire department, and the predator board, always looking for ways to contribute and give back. His goal is simple: to honor the old ways of ranching and ensure the legacy of Brewster Ranch is strong for generations to come.

Meet Kate Brewster

Horses have always been a big part of my life, but I have always wanted more than just riding in an arena. I wanted to be a cowgirl. Growing up, I spent summers with my grandparents in Oregon, soaking up every bit of ranch life. My grandpa worked on a local ranch, and I loved the hard, rewarding days of work. I knew this was the life I wanted.

After high school, I moved to Wyoming to study Equine Science and Equine Management. From there, I worked in Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming, gaining experience in everything from salebarns to purebred cattle operations. I also worked in the oilfields and spent countless hours dayworking for ranches. All of this taught me grit and determination.

One of my biggest mentors was Jalene Sorenson, who taught me about horsemanship and ranch operations. When she retired, I was honored to carry her horse operation forward here at Brewster Ranch.

I love being outside with the horses and cattle, and while I do handle the marketing, record-keeping, and the behind-the-scenes work for the ranch, I’d much rather be out in the field. I’m not a fan of spending days in the office, but someone has to keep things running smoothly! Through social media and our website, I try to share what ranch life is really like—the hard days, the good days, and everything in between. My goal is to honor the traditions we live by and inspire others to embrace this way of life.

Together, we work to raise animals that thrive in tough conditions and keep ranching traditions alive. Whether we’re tending cattle, horses, or goats, we rely on practical know-how, respect for the land, and faith. Ranching isn’t easy, but each day brings a chance to learn and grow.

Most of all, we hope the Brewster name stands for integrity, humility, and a commitment to faith.

Thank you for stopping by. Welcome to the Brewster Ranch family.
