Prairie View Stock Farm, also known as the Bluestem Ranch, is a historic farm and national historic district in western Missouri located near Rich Hill; it covers territory in both Bates and Vernon counties.

The contributing sites include a hay meadow, a tall-fescue prairie, and a 160-acre plot of native, tall-grass prairie. It is a state-designated Prairie View Natural Area.
The contributing buildings are a transverse-crib barn/grain house (c. 1879), a barn/feeding facility, a two-story, frame, folk Victorian house (1893-1894); and a frame privy (1893-1894). The contributing structures are a storm cellar (1893-1894) and an arbor (c. 1895).[2]
