The Friends & Family Ranch Gathering — Large Group (Expanded) is designed for groups that need room to gather, time to connect, and space to move — without a guided program or structured agenda.

This open-format gathering allows hosts and guests to enjoy the ranch at their own pace. There are no scheduled activities and no required programming. Instead, guests experience the slower rhythm of ranch life, wide-open West Texas views, and a welcoming environment that naturally encourages conversation and meaningful connection.

This gathering is well suited for church events, company celebrations, large family reunions, and community groups who want the setting to enhance the experience — without entertainment driving the schedule.

This is a four-hour Friends & Family Ranch Gathering — Large Group (Expanded), which includes:

• Private use of the barn alley event space and designated outdoor ranch areas
• Open space for food, visiting, games, and group activities
  (Guests may bring their own food and activities)
• Viewing access and natural photo opportunities in proximity to miniature Highland and Highland-cross cattle
• Guests may notice additional ranch animals moving naturally through the barn or nearby spaces as part of the working ranch environment
• Ranch staff present throughout the gathering to oversee animal care and maintain a safe environment for both guests and livestock
