Manzano Angus is a family operation, owned and run by the Gardner family. Bill and Lisa Gardner own and operate the original ranch Southwest of Estancia. Cole operates the Yeso ranch, with his wife Megan, and their children Cade, Laney and Macey. Clayton, his wife Michelle, and their sons, Jack and Max, run the 777 ranch North of Willard.
We run registered and commercial Angus cattle and began our Red Angus program in 2018. Our focus at Manzano Angus is to produce profit-oriented cattle suited for western environments and find it essential to manage cattle similar to commercial cattlemen, because they are our customers.
We have an annual bull sale in which we sell around 130 Angus and Red Angus bulls. We also market private treaty bulls and sell females in the Fall.
