?

Land Seeker Description

Experience cattle rancher with small herd of Wagyu.  Looking for land to help diversify their grazing areas as well as winter them.   Ideal land would allow for growing the hay they would require in the winter, store machinery, provide hay storage and have area where they can winter.


What features of the property are essential?

Water, irrigation, electric, hay barn


Describe your farming experience

Raised cattle in Texas for 20 years. Started herd of Wagyu in Central, Oregon 6 years ago. Have been selling high quality, non-certified organic beef since starting the business. Own and maintain 653 acre ranch in Prineville.


Are you currently farming?

Yes

What are your short term goals for the land

Have location close to Bend where the genetics of the herd can be improved and health carefully monitored during the winter. Grow hay for the herd on the property during the spring/summer. Location to store beef and sell to the public located in Central Oregon and more easily accessible than the Prineville ranch.


What are your long term goals

Increasing the herd to 70-80 animals with the highest quality Wagyu beef available in the region. In order to reach this sustainable number, additional land will be added to the business over this time including both grazing and hay producing properties. Eventually, the beef will be sold to both public at large and restaurants.


Describe your housing needs

None.


What will you do as a farmer to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone on your farm and in your community?

I would work to promote a safe and welcoming environment on the farm which is open to people of all backgrounds for work and commerce. I currently train as part of my work on cultural competency and trauma informed consent on a yearly basis and would implement this with my employees as well. Clear policies are already established within our organization regarding prohibition of discrimination and we value diversity.
