Ranchlands: Ranch, Conserve, Live

A beautiful photographic collection of life on the open range, capturing what ranching looks like today while honoring the enduring spirit of the American West.

Over the past two decades, Ranchlands (with properties in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming) has grown from a family cattle ranching business to one of the great ranching companies of the West. Its grassroots model honors and embraces ranching traditions while working tirelessly to sustain and conserve the land for future generations.

Illustrated with galleries of stunning images from a variety of photographers who have worked or spent time on Ranchlands properties over the years, Ranchlands showcases the seasonal rhythms of the ranch, the daily lives of its team members, the flow of herds of cattle and bison on the open range, communities of wildlife, working horses, and the breathtaking sweep of the Western landscape.

For all of us drawn to the mystique of the American West, the grit and poetry of a hard day’s work on the land, welcome to Ranchlands.

Duke Phillips III is the founder and CEO of Ranchlands. More than 20 years ago, and with only 35 cows to his name, Phillips moved his family to the Chico Basin Ranch located on the prairie just outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Over the course of two decades, Phillips, his family, and his growing team have built Ranchlands into a large-scale ranch-management business that now stewards 380,000 acres of land across four western states.
