Waid Ranch was homesteaded by Lawrence Waid in 1897. We are the 4th generation to operate under the Waid name for over 100 years. We raise commercial cattle along with registered Quarter Horses, & kids! The ranch has seen many changes in practice through the years but one thing remains the same: The use of exceptional horses for day to day tasks!

The AQHA weanlings are out of exceptional stock and are bred for just about every riding discipline. Very popular among 4-Hers for easy going dispositions. Most of the dams are foundation mares bred to exceptional AQHA stallions. Our mares run out all winter and are bred to foal in May. They are sorted for breeding to one of the two stallions June 1st. The foals are branded late July, haltered and will be ready to go by weaning time, October 1st.

Each of our saddle horses is put through the paces that a working ranch dishes out. We believe in using & exposing horses to every chore on our place, including calving, brandings, sorting, moving, roping, and even feeding. The whole family is involved in our working ranch. Lon exposes the 4 year old & older horses to the roping arena & competes in the USTRC, MTRA, & local jackpots heading & heeling while the younger colts are started right & perform all the basics. Stacey enjoys starting young horses on the barrels, team roping with the family & at local jackpots. She & the girls are involved in local barrel racing clubs and compete in the NBHA, NWRA, youth & open rodeos. Lynsey & Layne both help start colts in the round pen. Layne also competes in team roping & breakaway roping. So you know, when you buy a Waid horse, you can count on taking him home with the confidence that he is started right, has been exposed to many different areas, & has seen a lot of cattle & country!
