  • McGinnis Meadows Ranch is very conscientious about proper land management and you'll take a big part in it. There's a part for all levels of riders to participate in. Ride the drag to push cattle, ride the flanks to keep those ol' girls in line. You'll be quite the hand!

• Our main agenda at this time is gathering cattle off of their summer pastures and shipping cattle to their home ranch.
