Founded in 1976, TEI oversees one of the largest private land portfolios in the United States, spanning approximately two million acres across eight states including Montana, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, and South Dakota. The company's operations are deeply rooted in conservation and sustainable ranching practices, with a focus on ecological preservation and habitat restoration.

The company's land holdings include diverse properties such as Vermejo Park Ranch in New Mexico and Colorado, Flying D Ranch in Montana, and Ladder Ranch in New Mexico.
