Our Story

Welcome to our website, where the legacy of over 80 years in ranching and farming meets the enduring spirit of family heritage. Our story began with my great grandfather, who journeyed from the Basque Country to become a sheepherder in Central California. Over time, his passion for the land led him to establish a cattle ranch, laying the foundation for generations of dedication to livestock.

Through the years, our family’s commitment to the industry has only deepened. My grandfather carried on the tradition, expanding our operations to embrace diversity in grazing and adding cattle to our repertoire. Now, as a fourth-generation rancher, I proudly continue our legacy, rooted in the fertile soil of the Central Valley.

Here, amidst the honest labor of farming, our days are filled with nurturing the land that sustains us. Our home is not just a place of warmth, but a sanctuary where the glow of love illuminates our lives. Guided by our faith and love of God, we cherish the values of hard work, education, and above all, the unbreakable bond of family.

In a world where the origin of our food is often obscured, we believe in the importance of knowing where your food is grown. With this in mind, we invite you to join us on our journey of sustainable agriculture, where transparency and integrity are at the heart of everything we do. Embracing the challenges of modern agriculture, we made the practical decision to venture into direct marketing beef. In a landscape of rising expenses and fluctuating commodity prices, this endeavor became a means of providing for our family while staying true to our roots.

Join us on this journey, where tradition meets innovation, and where every harvest is a testament to the enduring power of love that binds us together under the watchful eye of our Creator.
