For 2013, our Master Agriculturist sisters, Susan, Mourine and Maxine Weaver, are the 5th generation to manage the Weaver Ranch. They were raised at their father’s Laramie veterinary clinic, and on the Weaver Ranch straddling the Wyoming-Colorado border...
 
The Weaver ranch started before Wyoming became a state. Noah and Adeline Weaver, great-grandparents to Susan, Mourine and Maxine, owned the general store at old Tie Siding, built a livery stable and a small hotel at Tie Siding, and established a general store in Laramie, where their son Adrian was born in 1889. Adrian, the sister’s grandfather, homesteaded on the Colorado side of the state line in 1886, while another Weaver, David, homesteaded on the Wyoming side. Eventually the two ranches were combined as the family continued to acquire property. Today the ranch includes properties in Sedgwick, Virginia Dale and Owl Canyon, Colorado. In 1960 they made a strategic decision to raise registered Black Angus cattle, and today, known as a Black Angus seedstock producer, they move their cattle between properties to optimize performance.
