About our Ranch

Winter on the ranch is still a busy time. The cows rotate through stockpiled forage and are also fed hay. This year is a great snow year!

Basic Information:

Canyon Meadows Ranch is a family operated cattle ranch located near Altamont, Utah - 140 miles east of Salt Lake City.

We raise high quality Natural Grass Fed Beef with sound land stewardship practices providing wildlife habitat and open spaces. We have been selling our grass fed beef direct to the public since 2008.

As a family operation we work together and each person contributes unique talents, ideas and abilities.

Introduction:

Three Generations of the Myrin family have built the ranch to its current state. A fourth generation is growing up on the ranch and learning how to care for the animals, the land and the wildlife.

Our ranch is located near the southern slope of the Uintah Mountains and has a diverse makeup. It consists of irrigated and spring-fed meadows, hay fields, wild river-bottom and dry pasture land.

We practice generative production methods and work hard to improve the land resources and minimize use of fossil fuels. One of the ways we do this is to let the cattle graze more of the hay fields and last crop instead of putting it up in bales with tractors. This builds soil by putting the nutrients back on directly from the cattle.

We raise Red Angus base cattle. The calves are born in the spring and spend their time grazing on the ranches green meadows and pastures. A portion of the cattle spend their summer on nearby Forest range. The cows are brought home from the forest in the fall and the calves are then weaned. The cows are on the ranch during the winter where they graze stockpiled forage and are fed hay as needed.

Canyon Meadows Ranch provides habitat for a large variety of wildlife ranging from mule deer and elk to turkey, waterfowl and beaver.
