Gila Cattle Round Up
New Mexico
USA
What would a Ranch Vacation be like without a Cattle Roundup?? Because the climate in southwestern New Mexico is so mild during every season, we are able to calve year ‘round. This means most of the guests have an opportunity to help with various phases of cattle work, and can include roundups, sorting, weaning, moving small groups of cattle to new pastures, checking water tanks, and fence lines. We raise Texas Longhorn and cross-bred cattle and believe it's important to preserve as much of the traditional "old South West" as possible...there sure ain't much of it left! Why not "cowboy up" and lend a hand?!
Scheduled several times every year, you can help with gathering, tagging, weaning, moving to new pasture areas, and shipping. You'll see incredible country and experience a true taste of the "Old West". Take advantage of an opportunity to improve all your cattle and horsemanship skills. The work is rewarding and challenging!
Indulge your Cowboy Spirit with cattle roundups at this top class working ranch.
The 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest and pristine Gila Wilderness are the backdrop.
Learn the cowboy 'fun'damentals of riding, roping and reining. Or just relax with a good book. No 'nose to tail' trail riding, but horseback riding the way it was intended to be, in country that can only be experienced from the back of a good horse.
This is a working guest ranch with 30,000 acres, located 30 miles northwest of Silver City, New Mexico - here, you'll get as much "hands-on" time as you want!
You won't be lost in another crowd! Ensuring you have a darned good, southwestern time is what we're after!
The ranch prides itself on home-style meals using home grown, free-range, chemical-free beef and buffalo dishes. Organically grown fruits and vegetables are offered on our menu when in season and available.
We promise breathtaking vistas, exciting horseback rides on seasoned horses, satisfying meals, evening campfires and the Milky Way spread across the New Mexico sky .... ride your dreams!
