OUR PLACE

We're located on 660 acres of (mostly) irrigated pasture north and east of Susanville, California, about an hour and a half from Reno NV.  Love to have you visit!

OUR SYSTEMS

Our corral system is designed to take advantage of the realities of handling

cattle quietly: give them someplace to go where they feel they're "getting  away from you" (relieve pressure), take advantage of their tendency

to want to go back where they came from.

We can handle about 800 head at a time in the facilities.   We have the scale and squeeze in one location so we can use a single Bud Box to feed them.

The system is designed so that we can perform three operations simultaneously.  We can sort cattle (on the left half), then feed them to the  squeeze or scale (in the center) and then from there they go into the corrals and alley on the right side where they can be loaded onto a semi. This system makes for quick, quiet, and safe work.  Our facilities include a certified scale.

Of course, we have health protocols in place and work with our local vet to keep them up to date.  However, if you have a health program in place we can either adapt ours to mesh with yours or, if yours has worked for you we can use it.  We'll work with you to do what's best for your cattle.  

Chuck has a lot of experience with individual animal ID and we can use UHF tags in the cattle.  UHF allows us to quickly scan and capture every tag, even from a distance, and gives us the ability to account for all  animals and record individual data as needed.  That works well with natural

and organic programs because we can reliably identify animals that fall out of the program and ensure that they aren't shipped with the  majority that are still eligible.

Because all our pastures are right at the corrals and scale we'll be weighing monthly and giving you a progress report.  In addition, all records are online so you can see what animals have been treated within twenty four hours of treatment.
