About EC Ranch
Elite Genetics. Working Tradition.
Our Story
EC Ranch was founded by Ed and Cindy Carroll in 1974. What began as a working farm evolved into a passion for cutting horses, with the breeding program established in 1984. After Ed's successful career in computing and software, the Carrolls formally retired to the ranch in 2004, substantially expanding the cattle operation while maintaining their commitment to breeding quality cutting horses. Today, Cindy continues the legacy they built together, raising horses and dogs on the same land they've called home for over fifty years.
Our Mission & Values
Guiding principles that drive everything we do.
Our Philosophy
Every horse and dog at EC Ranch earns their keep on a real working cattle operation. We believe the best way to develop cow sense, stamina, and heart is through daily workânot just arena training. Our animals are raised with care, handled from day one, and proven on our 300-head Red Angus herd before they ever leave the ranch.
Proven Genetics
Carefully selected bloodlines for cow sense and durability.
Real Work
Our stock is proven daily on our 300-head Red Angus operation.
