A
BRIEF HISTORY Started by our
European immigrant ancestors who instilled the
desire to produce the “best” from the ranch, it
is now in its fourth generation of family
stewardship. The skills and knowledge passed
down from each generation in the “traditional
cowboy way” has enabled us to offer you the best
quality beef we believe you can buy.
Our cattle ranch has a closed herd
that is made up of Hereford, Angus, and
Shorthorn crosses. We started keeping herd
records when Apple III computers came out in the
late 70's. We work hard at keeping production
records throughout the production cycle of the
cow raising a calf. This includes birth weights,
wearing weights, 205 day weights, yearling
weights, date born, and to calf dates. We manage
our 500 head mother cow-herd by weighing
individual animals at all stages of production
on electronic chute scales. All this information
is entered into Excel spreadsheet to help make
herd management decisions including culling
females that do not perform to the herd average
standards. We have not purchased outside females
since 1924. The only
outside cattle purchased is our breed bulls.
Also three years ago we purchased three
Angus bulls from a producer that has selected a
specific gene that attributes higher quality,
taste and tenderness from grass fed and grass
finished beef.
Since we own and operate our own land and we
have very extensive records, we wanted to create
our own market that utilizes the unique traits
that other cattle ranches do not have. With this
in mind we decided become Certified Organic
with Oregon Tilth in 2000. The transition
was easy because of our past herd records. Every
year during our annual inspection they are amazed
at the details of our record keeping system. I
ask how many other ranchers keep records like
ours and they say none! Our meticulous record
keeping and breeding programs offers you the
most wholesome and best grass fed/grass finished
beef you may ever eat!
