FAMILY-OWNED RANCH
Ed and Meredith Tinsley are also the owners of the Flying W Diamond Ranch, near Ruidoso, New Mexico, just north of Capitan.
The Flying W Diamond Ranch is a second generation family owned and operated cattle operation dating back more than 60 years.

These cattle are marketed across New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and West Texas. The Flying W Diamond Ranch has aligned itself with K-BOB’S Steakhouse, and the knowledge and experience shared between the Flying W Diamond Ranch Cattle operations in its production of some of the best carcass qualities in the United States, helps K-BOB’S Steakhouses in providing great steaks. The goal and vision for Flying W Diamond Ranch is to breed genetics that will contribute the success of all clients and customers of the Flying W Diamond Ranch.
