Spring has arrived at the Ranch. With Eagle Peak in the background still covered with snow, the Ranch pastureland is free of snow. The grasses are growing and the cattle are excited to taste the fress, green grass. As the grasses grow, our Ranch Cattle Manager keeps a watchful eye. He frequently moves the cattle between pastures to keep the cattle healthy and to keep the range land healthy. The mountain bluebirds and the western bluebirds have returned to the Ranch and the crocuses and daffodils are blooming. The Pasque flowers, one of the earliest blooming flowers in the Valley, have been visible for several weeks now. We invite you to visit the Ranch and enjoy our beautiful spring weather.

- Sangres Broadband Listens to Ranch Presentation
Members of the Sangres Broadband visited Maytag Mountain Ranch on April 3, 2010. The Sangres Broadband is the Westcliffe, CO chapter of the Great Old Broads. The Great Old Broads is a national grass-roots effort of volunteers who tend to the wilderness. The local chapter of the Great Old Broads, the Sangres Broadband, has a very active group of volunteers that work with the BLM and Forest Service to clear trails in the Sangres, pick up trash along the local Custer County highways, plant trees in burned out areas, and clean trash from campsites in the local National Wilderness areas. This group recently visited Maytag Mountain Ranch and learned about the ranch preservation philosophy. The Ranch is dedicated to sustainability of the land and improving the grass lands on which the Maytag cattle graze. The Ranch is organically certified and raises grass-finished beef. The beef is sold locally directly to consumers. Following the presentation the group takes a hike across to see the cattle.
