The Snyder family

With a rich Nevada-grown heritage in cattle ranching and crop production, the Snyders continue to honor family values while remaining relevant in an ever advancing world of technology. From branding irons to iPads, the Snyder family is a model for the progressive rancher.

Eddie Snyder

The 89 year old family patriarch continues to oversee the daily operations of the ranch. Eddie is the man to contact if you are interested in purchasing our quality alfalfa hay.

Jim Snyder

The eldest Snyder sibling is in charge of crop production. With his crew of experienced agricultural workers, he directs the production of the alfalfa, onions, garlic and other miscellaneous crops including vegetables marketed at local farmer’s markets.

"Snyder quality is as good as it gets in Nevada. Eddie really knows how to put up hay." - Jon Hill, Nevada Hay Growers Association (Retired)

Lucy Rechel

She has directed the feedlot operations since the late 1990s. Under her direction, Snyders have developed one of the most advanced bull tests in the western United States. Lucy is very active in the Nevada Beef Council promoting beef business across the state.

John Snyder

The company’s information technology guru, implementing and maintaining the company’s varied computer hardware and software systems. With the advances in agricultural technology, the demand for information technology experts is always increasing and essential to the success of Snyder’s operations.

Darby Snyder
