This steer is relaxing the in shade at the Alisal Ranch near Solvang, California in Santa Barbara County.
This is just one of the many in the large heard on the working cattle ranch that also has a "dude ranch" element to it, the Alisal Guest Ranch. The guest ranch includes tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course.
The land was owned by several prominent Mexican families until 1868 and then sat dormant until 1907, when William T. Mead established the Alisal Ranch Company. The property was used for farming, cattle and horse breeding. In 1943, The Alisal was purchased by Charles Pete Jackson Jr., who expanded The Alisal in an entirely new direction—hospitality.
Originally designed solely as a working cattle ranch, manager Lynn Gilliam advised the Jackson family to convert the cattlemen’s quarters to guest rooms for dude ranch visitors. On July 16, 1946, The Alisal Guest Ranch was opened for summer seasons with a maximum capacity of 30 guests.
Today the Ranch is still owned by the Jackson family and has become one of the country’s top resorts. It’s a place where cultured amenities live in harmony with the songs of cowboys and the thunder of hooves
