About Us

Our Story

Our ranch began when Mark and his father, Vern, bought their first Charolais cows more than five decades ago. Since then, the operation has grown into a multi-generation family business. Mark and his wife, Kathy, along with their children — Melinda, and triplets Ryan, Stephanie, and Heather — all helped raise and show Charolais cattle across the country.

Today, Ryan and his wife, Beth, continue the family tradition with their children, Lora and Luke. Together, we’re proud to produce wholesome, flavorful beef that reflects our commitment to quality and care.
