Welcome to River’s Bend Ranch

We are Ron and Reida ( Elkins) Baca.
As a five-generation family in the cattle business we understand the need for quality breeding stock. Dating back to the 1860’s, the Baca and Elkins families were part of the pioneering and ranching families of Texas and New Mexico. In the late 1800 the Elkins family move to the Grants, N Mex. area and built several prominent cattle ranches which still operate today. The Baca's moved to New Mexico in the late 1940's. We are very proud to carry on the way of life our pioneer ancestors built. 

 Our love of the cattle business has made our lives very rewarding. 
We have raised cattle and have been involved in the commercial cattle business our entire lives. We discovered the Texas Longhorn breed and have never looked back while breeding, showing and judging award winning Texas Longhorns.

Owning ranches in Grants, NM and Aztec, NM, we base our headquarters in Aztec, NM.
