The Wommer Ranch in Bayfield was homesteaded in 1878 by Nick and Elizabeth Wommer. The present 113 acres are part of the original ranch which at one time was comprised 2000 acres. The property has always been a cattle ranch and consisted of selling calves and yearlings and producing the feed for them. The oldest buildings on the ranch date back to 1902 when a large sawmill operated on the property. The present owners are Frank and Jessie Wommer.
