I am President of William Smith Properties, Inc. and GI Ranch Corporation. Our companies have owned, operated, and managed working ranchland in Oregon for more than forty years. We currently manage over 200,000 deeded acres and approximately 250,000 acres of leased public ground in central and eastern Oregon, all in active cattle operations.
