Darrel Holliday Ranch, Inc.

Darrel Holliday Ranch raises purebred red Angus cattle in John Day, Oregon, situated in the John Day Valley at an elevation of roughly 3,800 feet. Run by Darrel and Katherine Holliday, the operation is family-owned and has roots going back to 1978, when the ranch acquired its original purebred red Angus herd.

Darrel is a second-generation rancher, and the program reflects decades of hands-on selection work. Over the years, the herd has been developed with a focus on low birth weights, strong daily gain, and high weaning weights — traits that support calving ease and overall herd profitability. Bulls are raised in a real pasture environment rather than on heavy feed, which the ranch credits for their durability and lasting productivity in the field.

The cattle are free-range during summer months on Forest Service permit land and wintered on meadow ground, a management approach the ranch believes builds independent survival skills and sound hooves. For ranchers looking for red Angus cattle for sale in Oregon, the herd's EPD profiles are tracked through the Red Angus Association of America, where the ranch holds a regular membership. The high-elevation growing conditions also support the ranch's Timothy meadow hay production, a complement to the cattle operation.
