Everything is big at Express Ranches

Express Ranches is the number one seedstock cattle operation in the United States, according to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, and it is home to 20 black-and-white Clydesdales.

YUKON — Express Ranches in Yukon is not only recognized for its cattle production, but it is also headquarters for Express Clydesdales, a popular breed of show horses.

Express Clydesdales general manager Josh Minshull uses a stepladder to reach the top of Troy, one of the Express Ranches Clydesdales, during the 2009 Oklahoma State Fair. Minshull said it takes 20 to 30 minutes to wash each horse. PHOTO BY JOHN CLANTON, OKLAHOMAN ARCHIVE
