Ash Creek Livestock Association

Ash Creek Livestock Association, Hereford cattle, San Carlos, AZ, in Gila County and eastern Arizona near Phoenix, is a small ranch rooted in local ranching traditions. The association is an active member of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association and follows recommended health screenings for genetic traits and common conditions. Their herd grazes on native grasses under a rotational system and each animal receives daily wellness checks from experienced staff.

Calves are introduced to low-stress handling early in life to encourage calm temperaments and ease the transition to open pastures. Shaded shelters and access to clean water are provided throughout summer months to ensure comfort and support natural behaviors. With a focus on sustainable grazing and community stewardship, the ranch preserves rangeland health while nurturing robust Hereford cattle. Local fair judges have highlighted the herd’s uniform conformation and steady temperament at recent county exhibitions.
