ABOUT OUR WESTERN ART PRESENTING SPONSOR
Established in 1965 and headquartered in South Texas, Wyatt Ranches owns and operates an assimilation of cattle ranching divisions and agricultural interests in ten Texas counties, primarily in South and West Texas - while also maintaining ranching interests in Colorado, near the communities of Eagle and Vail.
Since our inception in South Texas some 60 years ago, Wyatt Ranches has perpetuated a central focus of producing both specialty and commercial cattle - and to do so in a safe manner at all properties and divisions. Another priority of Wyatt Ranches is to readily acknowledge our associates, who “ride for the brand” each day and make it happen.
From the gatekeepers, vaqueros, and foremen, who work at the various ranching divisions...to the associates working in the ancillary departments of Accounting, Aviation, Facilities, Hospitality, Land Improvement, Law, and Transportation...our tenured associates have afforded the Ranches an opportunity for sustained growth and continued success. We make every effort to preserve the tested traditions of cattle ranching, established by our 100-year-old Founder, Oscar S. Wyatt, Jr.
Wyatt Ranches takes great pride in our associates’ accomplishments, and we make every effort to recognize their expertise, their performance, and their skill. We encourage our associates’ participation in community engagement and involve them at every level of the Ranches’ actions in benevolence to others. After all, these steadfast and loyal associates, some of which approaching 40 years of service, are a genuine and tested source of pride for Wyatt Ranches. As a tenured vaquero said after a long day’s round-up, “Nuestro Orgullo es...nuestra gente.” Our pride is our people.
