Thrall Buys Famed McIntyre Ranch in Alberta
Ralph A. Thrall, Lethbridge businessman and longtime secretary-treasurer, buys the McIntyre Ranching Company shares. The acquisition secures about 100 square miles on Milk River Ridge and 4,504 Hereford cattle along with stock, horses, and ranch machinery. The McIntyre Ranch, founded in 1894 by Wilhelm H. McIntyre Sr, has seen three generations of management, with Thrall stepping into Alberta operations after close ties to the estate. A prior estate liquidation reduced holdings to about 60,000 acres on the Kirkaldy and Knight holdings, as noted in the ongoing sale details.
