Genesee Valley Ranch

Genesee Valley Ranch, Wagyu cattle, Taylorsville, CA, lies in Plumas County and the Sierra Nevada near Reno. Owned by Amalia Palmaz, this ranch has raised Wagyu cattle for several years, maintains registrations with breed associations, and adheres to routine health protocols including quarterly veterinary checks. The cattle graze on open mountain pastures rich in native grasses, rotating through fenced sections to support herd health, soil regeneration, and natural foraging habits. Facilities blend sturdy barns and loafing sheds with shaded turnout areas, natural water troughs, and easy access to fresh streams to encourage low-stress handling.

Palmaz focuses on balanced development, selecting lines noted for both temperament, adaptability to local pasture, and marbling quality that carries through to finished cattle. At Genesee Valley Ranch each animal receives individual attention from weaning through finish, with detailed lineage records, dietary notes, and farm logs kept for breeding transparency and tracking growth metrics. Community members note the ranch’s steady approach to animal welfare and sustainable stewardship year after year. Genesee Valley Ranch remains rooted in respect for the landscape and the heritage of Wagyu cattle.
