Castle Rock Ranch

Castle Rock Ranch, Beefalo cattle, Bellevue, ID, is a family-run breeder located in Blaine County and the Wood River Valley near Ketchum. Scott Castle has been raising Beefalo for over a decade and holds membership in the North American Beefalo Association, conducting regular health screenings for BVD, brucellosis, and USDA-recommended tests. Its cattle graze on rotational pastures, moving through open fields that support natural foraging, and calves are socialized with gentle daily handling from an early age. The ranch blends traditional ranching methods with careful record-keeping to maintain genetic vigor and balanced temperaments.

Reviews often note the ranch’s down-to-earth approach and consistent animal health. Calving is scheduled in early spring to take advantage of fresh grass growth, and each animal is monitored throughout gestation and nursing. Scott Castle combines a lifelong interest in sustainable agriculture with a background in livestock management to support animal welfare and environmental stewardship.
