The O X Ranch is a unique ranch.  The ranch headquarters sits in a lovely valley isolated from the chaos of city life.  The ranch has irrigated fields of alfalfa, oats, wheat, rye, and bermuda, beautiful rugged mountains, over 100 miles of fence, three perennial streams, and a dedicated team of ranchers and land managers.

Location

The O X Ranch is located 45 minutes north of Wickenburg, Arizona (which is about 1 hour northwest of Phoenix).  At an elevation ranging from 3000 feet to 6000 feet, it consists of more than 70,000 acres of grazing land.  Additionally, there are 40,000 acres of grazing land near Flagstaff, Arizona at an elevation of 7000 feet.

Cattle

We have an Angus cow-calf operation and raise steers and heifers for beef production.

Farm

The ranch has about 120 acres of irrigated pasture, and about 80 acres of dry farming fields.  Our irrigation comes from a spring producing up to 1000 gallons per minute.

Climate

The ranch headquarters is located at about 3100 foot elevation.  It is hot and dry in the summertime, cool and dry in the winter time.  We have beautiful sunsets, clear skies, and clean fresh air and water.

People

We love the ranching life and enjoy living in nature’s most raw beauty.  The O X Ranch has been a working cattle ranch since the late 1800s.

Facilities

The ranch has approximately 120 watering facilities including 18 wells, three perennial streams, more than a dozen dirt tanks, one perennial spring, numerous springs and pipelines, and a 12 acre lake.  It has a large barn, equipment sheds, a shop and homes for the various members of the O X Ranch team.

 

What Makes Us Unique

We are able to feed our cattle grass and brouse year-round because we have irrigated fields, and we don’t have snow covering the grass in the wintertime.

We have many proud accomplishments and have won many awards.  We’ve been told we have the best ranch in Arizona.  We think that’s true!
