For a quarter of a century, Chico Basin Ranch has been under the dedicated care of Ranchlands, a ranching company run by the Phillips Family. However, a recent turn of events has left the family with heavy hearts as they have lost their lease and must bid farewell to the ranch in December. This final cattle branding held a bittersweet significance, marking the end of an era for the Phillips Family.
With their time at Chico Basin Ranch coming to an end, the family is now on the lookout for a new piece of land to lease. This is necessary in order to continue raising their beloved herd of Beefmaster cattle, which they have diligently cultivated over the past 25 years on the ranch. The search for a new home is not just a practical matter, but also an emotional one as the family has formed a deep connection with their cattle and the land they have called home for so long.
During their last branding at Chico Basin Ranch, the team worked tirelessly to vaccinate, brand, and tag over 300 calves. This was no easy feat, but the family and their team were determined to give their cattle the best care until the very end. As they look towards the future, the Phillips Family is filled with hope and determination to find a new place to continue their ranching legacy.
