"Zane Kiehne is a visionary rancher who not only understands cattle but conservation as well, I can think of no better place in North America where wildlife and agriculture compliment each other so perfectly and successfully”
-Tony Caligiuri, president, Boone and Crockett Club, past director, Wild Sheep Foundation.
Land Without Equal
From high mountain meadows and sweeping grasslands to crystal-clear trout lakes and winding rivers, the UU Bar Ranch offers landscapes as diverse as they are magnificent. Here, nature thrives—majestic elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, American bison, pronghorn and large flocks of Rio Grande and Merriam turkey roam free alongside a world-class cattle and horse program that continues the ranch’s proud tradition of excellence.

WHERE HISTORY LIVES ON
For over 175 years, the UU Bar Ranch has been more than land—it has been a way of life. Its story is written in the rugged ridges, the fertile valleys, and the enduring culture of ranching in New Mexico. Today, it remains one of America’s greatest legacy ranches: a place where history, natural beauty, and the western lifestyle come together in harmony.
