Description

The Empire Ranch sits within the heart of the rolling grasslands and oak-studded foothills of Las Cienegas National Conservation Area in southeastern Arizona. Its remarkable history and the ranching way of living are told throughout the stories of the lads, women, and children of the Empire, most notably the Vail, Boice, and Donaldson families. Walter L. Vail and Herbert R. Hislop purchased the Empire Ranch homestead for $2,000 in 1876. The Vail circle of relatives operated the ranch until 1928, turning it into a cattle ranching empire. From 1928 to 1975, the well-respected Boice circle of relatives ran a vibrant Hereford operation at the Empire. The Donaldson circle of relatives used innovative range management how you can continue the ranching legacy from 1975 to 2009. Nowadays, the ranch, under the management of the Bureau of Land Management, remains some of the oldest regularly working cattle ranches within the region.
