WESTERN ART PRESENTING SPONSOR
Established in 1965 and headquartered in Texas, Wyatt Ranches owns and operates an assimilation of cattle ranching divisions in Colorado, South Texas, and West Texas. Founded by Oscar S. Wyatt, Jr. some 60 years ago, Wyatt Ranches was built upon the central focus of having a successful and productive commercial and specialty livestock program. From the gatekeepers, rancheros, vaqueros, and foremen working afield at the various ranching divisions...to the in-house ancillary services provided by our associates in the departments of Accounting, Aviation, Land Improvement, Law, Facilities Management, and Hospitality, all of these dedicated associates afford the Ranches an opportunity for sustained growth and success, all while staying true to the tested traditions of cattle ranching as directed by our 99-year-old founder. Wyatt Ranches takes great pride in our associates’ daily accomplishments, and we make every effort to acknowledge their performance and skill. We encourage their participation in community engagement and involve them at every level of the Ranches’ actions in benevolence to others. After all, these steadfast and loyal associates, some of whom with over thirty years of tenure, are a genuine and tested source of pride for everyone at Wyatt Ranches.
“The Texans are perhaps the best at the actual cowboy work. They are absolutely fearless riders and understand well the habits of the half-wild cattle, being unequaled in those most trying times when, for instance, the cattle are stampeded by a thunderstorm at night, while in the use of the rope they are only excelled by the Mexicans.” Theodore Roosevelt, 1885
