Our Story
The McGuire family acquired the Oxford Ranch in 1992. The McGuires have owned the ranch for the longest spell, since it’s inception in 1887. Management of the ranch passed to the youngest daughter, Kelly in 2014.
In 2016, freshly graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Animal Science, Kelly and the family worked together to rehabilitate the working facilities, the historic barn and the dilapidated ranch house. Now a showcase of West luxury, the ranch offers long views, comfortable surroundings, and a rich history detailed in a book available on Amazon, Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch.
Kelly began with 150 head of Angus cows and two full blood Wagyu bulls Her first herd was run on cattle shares, meaning she didn’t own the mother cows. She retained 70% of the value of the calf at sale. Slowly, she built up her own herd from heifers she selected.
Eight years later, she has built a herd of 57 mother cows, 40 of which have Wagyu bloodlines. Kelly’s goal is to continue breeding stock that thrives in this rugged environment while producing a phenomenal eating experience on your dinner plate.
