William's brother, Samuel, along with William traveled to Texas about 1870 to sell some property owned by their father. After the sell was completed, they bought cattle and made the long trek back to Utah. In the spring of the next year, they sold the cattle for more than five times what they had paid. This gave them enough money to buy more cattle in Omaha and drive them to Utah. This partnership continued until sometime in the 1880s and gave the two brothers enough money to enter into several ventures, including the Mammoth Mine at Mammoth, Utah which then developed into a successful operation. During the 1880s, William had hard times in the cattle business losing almost an entire herd in the winter of 13bb-87.

Ranching began shortly after the purchase. William H. Mclntyre was married to Phoebe Ogden Chase. She was the granddaughter of Isaac Chase, the first flour miller in Utah. Liberty Park was once the Isaac Chase farm, late r passing to Brigham Young. Phoebe Chase was born at the caretaker's house which still stands on Liberty Park.
