Info

Modoc Ranch in southern Oregon produces grass/hay fed Angus beef. We raise and sell 10–12 steers and heifers per year to individuals. Most of them are sold at around 7 months old (500 pounds) where the buyer can finish them as desired, the steers for meat and the heifers for meat or breeding. We can also make arrangements to feed them, as we do our own beef, on pasture and hay to butcher age, around 20–24 months (1200–1500 pounds).

We use no hormones, grain, or supplements. We raise all our own hay and all our breeding cows were born on the ranch. We purchase a new Angus bull every two years to prevent in-breeding. Our calves and cows are rotated through different pastures (7 days on, then 21 days off) to control weeds and parasites and to maximize pasture output. Pastures and hay fields are sprinkler irrigated from the Rogue River to conserve water. The pastures include alfalfa, clover, orchard grass, rye grass, timothy, and other grasses. All cows and calves are tagged at birth and we have records on each one.
