6 Ranch, Inc

About Us

James W. McAlister first saw Wallowa County as a boy on a hunting trip in 1876 and he was forever enamored, vowing to come back and raise his family there, which he did. Along with his hardy wife, Belle, he settled on a piece of land with rich soil, diverse wildlife and a winding river. Five generations later, we are still striving to be the best stewards of the land, river and animals that sustain us.

Today, there are three homes of the McAlister family living and working on the ranch. We raise Corriente Cattle, Quarter Horses, Cow Dogs, Bees, Gardens and do our best to preserve western traditions, restore ecosystems and produce healthy food.

Every living creature deserves a good life filled with purpose, play and health. 6 Ranch beef is an ethically sourced, 100% grass-fed, hormone free, beyond organic product. Our beef is flavorful, lean and nutritious. Corriente cattle are small framed and athletic, their meat is small portioned and naturally less fatty. We care deeply for the welfare of our animals.
