Yolo Ranch Prescott, Arizona est. 1887
4 - D Ranch Riley, New Mexico est. 1980
A trip to the historic Yolo Ranch is a journey that takes you through towering pines, across grassy meadows and through rolling, water-incised pastures. Nestled in mountainous ponderosa pine, the Yolo Ranch is located in Yavapai County, 50 miles northwest of Prescott, Ariz. Cattle bearing the Yolo brand continue to roam the ranch as they have since 1875. Tip Wilder, a rancher from Yolo County, Calif., near Sacramento, established the Yolo brand in 1885. Not only did it commemorate the area from which he came, but also the brand was unique since the ranch name was spelled out within the brand. For that reason, it was a hard iron to work over and a difficult brand for rustlers to change or alter. Today the ranch, which is privately owned, continues to operate much the same way it did more than a century ago. With four cattle camps and 1,000 head of cattle, the ranch covers a lot of difficult, rocky terrain in some of the most beautiful country in Arizona.
Team Members include: Keith James, Wes James, Ken James, Jake McCorkell, Kirk Burns and Luke James
