Meghan wins recognition from True West!
We were surprised to learn that Meghan has been selected by True West Magazine for one of its Best in the West 2010 honors. True West each year chooses a top representative in each of 100 categories.
BEST NEXT GENERATION RANCHER
Meghan Lally
Meghan Lally runs cattle, sheep and a few tourists on the Ladder Ranch in Savery, Wyoming, which straddles the Wyoming-Colorado border and has been in her family’s ownership since 1881. Working the land beside Meghan and husband Brian are her parents Pat and Sharon O’Toole, and her grandfather George Salisbury. Her own young children are learning the life as well (if she has work to do, she puts the baby in the backpack and the two toddlers on their own horse). Ladder Ranch has been involved in Wyoming’s Coordinated Resource Management project since 1993, and some of its ranch land has been placed in conservation easements held by Wyoming’s Nature Conservancy and the Colorado Cattleman’s Land Trust. Such programs ensure that the land will remain in agricultural production and be a wildlife habitat for future generations.
