Jon Griggs Ranch Manager for Maggie Creek Ranch LP Gettin Western Podcast

Jon Griggs is the Ranch Manager for Maggie Creek Ranch LP in Elko, NV. No one’s quite sure of the exact date, but sometime in the late 1800s, two men raised as brothers—George Hunter and George Banks—founded what today is called the Maggie Creek Ranch. The ranch has exchanged hands a few times since then but has been owned and still active ownership of the Searle Family since 1975. Maggie Creek Ranch is in the business of producing high-quality beef while conserving and improving public and private lands. Their goal is to be the best possible stewards of their resources while feeding the world through production agriculture. The operation consists of approximately 198,000 acres of owned (deeded) and leased BLM (grazing permitted grazing land.)
Jon’s got 30+ years of ranching experience and running some of the largest outfits in Nevada, and at one point worked for the biggest landowner and rancher in America, which he will get into on the show. He currently serves as President-Elect for the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association and is on the board of trustees for the Western Folklife Center. Jon worked his way up from Cowboy, to Cow boss, to Ranch Manager at Maggie Creek, and has learned many things along the way, including how to manage people. It was a real pleasure speaking with Jon and one of his many quotable moments that stood out to me during the show was when he said, “I talk about the people I work with, I don’t talk about the people that work for me. I try to learn as much about them, and with that get the best of them, and figure out the skills that they have fit, with what we need.” Jon is as genuine and authentic as a person that you are going to meet.
Enjoy!
