Game Plan

Alright, so here’s the plan.  I have had this crazy idea to start a blog about my family’s cattle ranch for over two years now and after about 16 hours of self-taught blog development, here I am! I am a rookie in the blogging world and I’m sure it will show but I hope to improve with some time.

On this blog you will find the day in and day out activities of a conventional beef ranch that is located in the eastern foothills of the San Joaquin Valley here in California.  I hope to share the love I have for this ranch, these cattle, and the people that make it all work with the general public in an effort to be transparent in how we care for and raise our animals.

In this day and age I understand that people have a growing concern about their food; where it is from, and how it is produced.  I plan to do my part in closing that gap for people who aren’t as familiar with agriculture and more specifically, ranching.  It is my intention to create a place where people can respectfully share opinions and ask questions.  I will do my best to answer those questions and if I don’t know, I WILL find out.  So, welcome to Meet Your Beef, I hope you enjoy.

For now I will leave you with these sweet girls:

    The picture of the 3 heifers at the water trough was taken as they were yearlings. Those same heifers will soon be having their 2nd calves. The perfect cycle……..
