Discover ranch raised Angus-beef, finished to perfection, delivered to your table hassle free.
Established in 1952, this cattle ranch specializes in raising Angus beef through a cow-calf operation. While preserving its foundational values, the ranch has integrated modern advancements in genetics, grazing management, and technology.
Herd management has been the ranch’s most significant improvement, leading to greater weaning weights. The breeding program emphasizes maternal traits and carcass quality, utilizing a crossbreeding strategy of 1/4 Simmental and 3/4 Angus. This approach has resulted in improved growth rates and carcass consistency.
The ranch employs rotational grazing to enhance pasture health and herd efficiency. Beef is marketed directly to the customer in the form of burger bundles, 1/4, 1/2, and whole portions. All processing is conducted at a USDA-approved facility, ensuring high-quality standards that build customer trust.
With increasing demand, the ranch plans to expand its herd size to support steady growth while remaining committed to its core values. This expansion will allow the ranch to meet the needs of a growing customer base without sacrificing quality, animal welfare, or sustainable practices.
