Our Cattle
At Smith & Smith Ranch, we've been raising cattle since 1854. Our small herd of about 60 cattle (Black Angus with about 5% Hereford) are grass-fed and supplemented with alfalfa during the summer and fall. Our cattle are born and raised on the ranch and are never transported to other areas, which means our herd spends their days grazing on our pastures and resting beneath the shade of giant heritage blue oak tress. As many of our friends say, "Happy cows come from S&S Ranch." This results in lean beef that is not only delicious but also healthier for you. We take pride in providing our family, friends, and customers with high-quality natural lean beef that they can feel good about eating.

You choose your custom cuts with the butcher and pay butcher cut/wrap fees. If you do not have a preferred butcher, we can help you select one. Note that butcher costs vary, but most butchers charge by the pound. Current butcher rates range from about $1.25 to $1.60 per pound based on the weight of the processed animal as delivered by the USDA processer from the Ranch. Butchers refer to this as "hanging weight." The hanging weight of our animals is usually between 600 and 675 pounds.
