Two of the oldest structures on the property are the old barn and corral from 1920 and the old cabin from 1914, both of which are currently not in use, but the ranch house, built in 1941, is still used today.  Throughout the years, the Ross Ranch has produced beef and hay.  Today the major product is still beef.
