BILLINGS- The Crazy Mountain Ranch is pushing back against state regulators who say the property violated a court order tied to watering its private golf course in the Crazy Mountains.

The Crazy Mountain Ranch, filed a motion in October asking a Park County court to find the ranch not in violation of a consent decree and to impose $8,000 in penalties, doing so after officials say, receiving a letter from the DNRC.
