Criollo Land & Cattle

Criollo Land & Cattle, Wagyu cattle, Phoenix, AZ, is situated in Maricopa County and Tucson. Carlos Sanchez follows guidelines from national cattle associations and maintains detailed health records that include routine veterinary exams and recommended genetic screening. The operation traces its roots to traditional practices brought from Mexico.

This family venture has grown through a commitment to breed standards and clear lineage tracking. The herd rotates through irrigated pastureland where animals have access to shade, fresh water, and a balanced diet designed to support steady growth and enhance marbling. Calves receive regular, gentle handling from the first weeks of life to promote calm temperaments and ease future management.

Sustainable pasture management preserves soil health, supporting resilient grasslands and reducing reliance on external feeds. One recent visitor observed the placid nature of the young cattle, a testament to the hands-on care and consistent daily routines that shape life at the ranch.
