Binstock Farms

Binstock Farms raises Chianina cattle in Napa, CA, Napa County and the wine country near San Francisco. Founded by Dennis Binstock, it follows recognized breed standards, maintains detailed lineage records and conducts regular health testing.

The cattle graze on open pasture near the farmstead using rotational systems and receive hands-on handling from a young age. All animals are raised outside with access to shaded shelters and clean water, and they are socialized regularly to ease transitions to new environments. Over several seasons, the breeding program has been refined to emphasize structural soundness and fertility.

Visitors note the herd’s calm temperaments and consistent frame development. Its approach blends traditional grazing methods with modern biosecurity measures to support overall herd health. The property has operated as a family-run homestead for generations, grounding its practices in both tradition and ongoing observation of animal welfare research.
