MEET YOUR RANCHER

I’m Glen Courtright, and I live near South Charleston, Ohio, with my wife, Sarah Wildman Courtright. We’re proud parents of three adult children and grandparents to two wonderful grandchildren.

 

At Green Plains Ranch, we manage a diverse range of operations, including the Green Plains Cabin Bed and Breakfast, RV Camping, forage crop cultivation, timber management, and raising Criollo cattle.

​

At the heart of heart of what we do is finishing grass-fed Criollo cattle.  Everything else - the land reclamation, hay / forage cultivation, silvo-pasturing -supports that mission.

 

As a military veteran, I served eight years as an enlisted airman in the U.S. Air Force and 13 years as an officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Outside of the ranch, I’m a lifelong musician, enjoying the trumpet and classical mandolin.

 

In 2016, I began reclaiming our property from decades of neglect, eliminating invasive plants, and rehabilitating abandoned quarry sites.

 

Today, Green Plains Ranch thrives through silvo-pasturing and interseeding practices, which enhance forage production and soil quality. Our Criollo cattle herds are managed with regenerative and rotational grazing, placing a strong emphasis on animal welfare, sustainable land stewardship, and delivering the highest quality products.
