3-D Cattle

3-D Cattle, a Chianina breeder in Denair, CA, is located in Stanislaus County and the Central Valley near Modesto.

With a focus on responsible breeding, it follows registry guidelines and routine health screening to support genetic soundness. The cattle graze on local pastures, and calves are raised in a low-stress environment with ample socialization and acclimation to handling. Owner Rachel Jolene Day draws on a background in sustainable ranching, emphasizing balanced nutrition and gentle handling to produce cattle known for their calm disposition.

The operation uses rotational grazing and provides shelter barns that protect against extreme weather, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare and land stewardship. Each year the herd participates in regional livestock shows and performance testing to validate breeding goals and build a consistent record of growth and maternal traits. All calves receive early handling to promote ease of management and are bottle-reared when needed to support orphaned or weaker individuals.
