LEGACY OF THE LAND

While Peters Home Place Ranch stands today as a premier land offering in southern New Mexico, its roots run deep in the regions ranching history. The story begins over a century ago, when LaMoyne Petersa descendant of generations of cattle ranchers in Lincoln Countybuilt upon a legacy marked by resilience, foresight and a passion for raising quality cattle.

From the early 1900s (before New Mexicos statehood in 1912) to the present, the Peters family has maintained and evolved a renowned commercial and registered Hereford and Angus operation, with foundational genetics dating back to 1924. Over the decades, herd improvement was guided by a commitment to sound structure, strong maternal traits, and adaptability to New Mexicos high-desert climate. Bulls from the ranch have carried prestigious bloodlines and made lasting contributions to herds across the region.

As the ranch grewadding irrigated farms, expanding bloodlines, and welcoming new generations into the foldthe focus remained clear: develop cattle that thrive on rugged range, offer strong phenotype and disposition, and meet the practical needs of todays cattlemen.

Today, under the stewardship of the familys fourth and fifth generations, that heritage lives on. The land offered in the Peters Home Place Ranch sale is part of a broader story one of perseverance, stewardship and quiet achievement. For those seeking more than acreagethose seeking a legacy property grounded in heritage and built with carethis is it.
