Cattle and Livestock Ranches

Cattle and Livestock Properties for Income, Lifestyle and Recreation

Amidst California’s natural grandeur, ranch properties that include livestock offer an authentic lifestyle that seamlessly marries nature, tradition, and sustainability.

These ranch properties can provide more than just an income-producing ranch as they often include excellent opportunities for recreational activities such as fishing, hunting, hiking, and much more. With this in mind, many ranch owners prefer to have outside experts manage their livestock operations while receiving a lease payment that offsets the cost of owning and maintaining a large property.

Livestock ranches typically fall into several categories. Ranches with Winter Grazing are likely found in lower elevations and foothills and help ensure your livestock thrives during winter. The mild winters provide ample nourishment, allowing cattle to graze even during the colder months. Summer Grazing properties, often located at higher elevations where snow melt provides for lush pastures during the summer, can allow cattle to thrive during the warmer months. Year-round ranches offer the ultimate versatility, with irrigation capacity for summer and the ability to farm sufficient hay or feed to carry over the seasons when grass is not abundant. These properties are the essence of self-sufficiency.

We believe today’s livestock ranching isn’t just about raising cattle; it’s about stewardship. These lands offer opportunities to implement strategies for responsible land management, such as rotational grazing. Beyond sustainability, these properties can cater to the growing sentiment of health-conscious consumers by offering opportunities for Grass-Fed Beef production.

Your cattle and livestock property invite you to embrace a way of life rooted in a deep connection to the land. The legacy of ranching finds its true home, where the call of cattle and the beauty of nature become part of your daily journey.
