Summary
The JX Ranch is a 7,000-acres working cattle ranch and guest ranch, not a "dude ranch," located in northeastern New Mexico at an altitude ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 feet. The JX Ranch Headquarters sits in the shadow of the Caprock, a steep escarpment that runs through the ranch.
JX Ranch is owned and operated by the two of us, Tom and Mimi Sidwell and we have no hired wranglers, cook or other staff. About 160 Texas Longhorn cows and their Charolais-cross calves graze on this ranch. Every morning we ride out to check on the cattle, watch for new calves being born, or move them to new pastures when scheduled. The calves never receive any antibiotics, hormones or insecticides, and are eventually sold as dry-aged, natural free-range beef to customers throughout the United States.
During the summer months we take up to five guests at a time, with some riding experience, who want to experience life on a cattle ranch. When the cabin is not occupied by guests, it is available for daily rental (2 nights minimum) for birding, wildlife photography, hiking, or just to get away from it all! For those interested, Mimi will teach you how to make your own Western riding chaps.
