Administrative Coordinator

A Balance with Nature – Since 1894 – Preserving native grasslands and wildlife habitat

The McIntyre Ranch has changed very little since it was established in 1894 by William H. McIntyre. The sustainable cattle-ranching practices that William instilled from his observations of the overgrazing of the mid-western United States, deservedly earns him to be recognized as a pioneer conservationist. That ‘balance with nature’ philosophy guided 53 years of McIntyre ownership and has continued since Ralph Thrall (Sr.)

bought the property from the McIntyre estate in 1948. The McIntyre legacy has now continued for over 75 years under the Thrall family ownership/management.

With its head office located in Lethbridge and the Ranch located about 50 km’s to the South, the McIntyre Ranch is one of the most iconic and historic ranches in Canada, offering sprawling landscapes and a legacy of exceptional ranching practices, dedicated to maintaining traditions while embracing innovative methods to ensure sustainable cattle ranching.
