Fryin' Pan Ranch

Fryin’ Pan Ranch raises Chianina cattle in Pawhuska, OK, in Osage County near Tulsa. The operation follows American Chianina Association guidelines and ensures all breeding stock undergoes recommended health screenings, reflecting a commitment to sound genetics. Cattle graze on rotational pastures across the ranch’s open fields, with regular human interaction to promote calm, adaptable herd members.

Owner Ernie Barnett brings years of hands-on experience to daily husbandry, blending traditional ranch practices with seasonal pasture management. Calves are introduced to gentle handling soon after birth, supporting early socialization and reducing stress during transport. Situated on land passed down through generations, the ranch upholds a legacy of careful land stewardship. Animals from the ranch are valued for consistent quality and easy temperament across diverse farm settings.
