WHAT IS CATTLEMEN'S MARKET?
WHAT IS CATTLEMEN'S MARKET?
A specialized livestock marketplace built to support and uplift local producers, especially those at risk of losing their leases, grazing rights, or family-owned properties. The platform is centered around high-quality replacement cows and heifers, strategically selected to deliver maximum value to both sellers and buyers. More than just a sales venue, this is a full-service agricultural hub offering feed solutions, flexible financing options, and a calendar of community-focused events, workshops, and networking opportunities — all designed to strengthen the regional ranching economy and preserve generational livelihoods.
OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
Establish a sustainable, community-driven cattle marketplace on a 4,000-acre ranch dedicated to supporting local ranchers and producers — particularly those who are losing land, leases, or generational footholds. This hub will provide high-quality replacement livestock, locally sourced feed, flexible financing options, and a space for educational workshops and community events. By fostering collaboration and resilience, the marketplace will help preserve rural livelihoods, promote regenerative practices, and strengthen the agricultural backbone of the region.
