The Y.O. Ranch, a renowned property with a rich history, was acquired in 1880 by Captain Charles A. Schreiner, a man of many talents including banking, philanthropy, pioneering ranching, and serving as a Texas Ranger.

Over six generations, the ranch achieved numerous historical feats, such as leasing land for hunting to expand its revenue streams, establishing the Texas Longhorn Breeders’ Association and a registry to revive the endangered breed, and introducing exotic hoof stock, which earned Y.O Ranch Headquarters the worldwide recognition as “America’s Original Game Ranch.”
