This 7,000-ace working cattle ranch is a two hour drive from Amarillo, Texas - about 25 miles south of Tucumcari, New Mexico. The 400-ft tall escarpment called the Caprock, which runs through the ranch, separates the Quay Valley from the Llano Estacado, or "staked plains" above. We run 150 Longhorn cows, their calves and bulls, selling natural beef. During the summer months we take in a maximum of 4 guests will help us round them up and take them on to new pastures. Other days we ride through the herd and check on them, check fences etc. After-noons are spent doing other types of ranch work, such as building or fixing fences, putting out salt and mineral for the cattle or whatever else needs tending to. Guests are welcome to participate in whatever we do.
Alternatively, guests may choose to relax at the cozy bunk-house, or take a drive to one of the nearby lakes for a swim or to go fishing. The American Quarter Horse Museum, Billy the Kid Museum and other attractions are within an hour or two’s drive from the ranch.!
