• Our ranch is pesticide and chemical fertilizer free


• Our cattle and sheep are never grain fed or given synthetic hormones or antibiotics


• No genetically modified organisms (GMOs)


• Raised on a family ranch


• Cattle are not put in feedlots and only finished on grasslands


• Fed only the forage the range provides


• Our grazing methods improve the biodiversity of the land 


• By stimulating grassland health through our Holistic Context, carbon is captured in the soil and watersheds are regenerated. 

Our philosophy in grazing is to manage the cattle herd to simulate the large herds of Elk and Antelope which once roamed California’sgrasslands. We accomplish this by keeping the herd moving with Holistic planned grazing, so as never to overgraze an area, but to stimulate growth and grass-land health through properly timed grazing. Watershed Stewardship is at the forefront of our management practices.
