Climb into the UTV and ride out with our ranch hands at feeding time. On this guided tour at Twin Canyons Ranch near Granbury, you’ll get up close to our registered Texas Longhorns and Herefords and hand out treats to the herd and the chickens. It’s a working ranch tour for animal lovers of every age.
What happens on the tour
Your guide drives you across the pastures to where the herd is grazing. The Longhorns know the sound of the UTV. You’ll help hand out treats, learn the cattle’s names and personalities, and hear how a family cattle operation runs day to day. Then you’ll visit the chickens before heading back past the ponds.
Meet the Longhorns and Herefords
Longhorns are a Texas icon, with sweeping horns and a calm, curious nature. The Herefords, with their red coats and white faces, are the beef side of the ranch. Together they’re the heart of Twin Canyons Cattle Co.
Great for kids, families and teams
Kids remember this one, and they ride along with an adult the whole way. Guests say the feeding tour is a trip highlight. It’s also an easy, low-key team-building option for retreats and a natural fit for school and scout groups.
When the tours run
Feeding tours go out in two sets every day. Each UTV holds up to five guests, and as many as three carts can head out together, so a set can carry up to 15. That’s room for a family reunion or a small team to ride out side by side. Call (817) 857-2624 to save your seats.
What to wear
Closed-toe shoes, clothes that can get a little dusty, a hat and sunscreen.

We made wonderful family memories!” (Elizabeth, Hostaway)
