Joseph Amaral III

Joseph Amaral III raises Chianina cattle in Modesto, CA, in the Central Valley near Stockton. He has been involved with Chianina breeding for several years, participates in the American Chianina Association, and follows guidance from national cattle associations to maintain health testing and records. He sources foundation animals with documented lineage and collaborates with other breeders to enhance genetic diversity. Calves are raised on rotational pasture and introduced to hands-on care from a young age in a family farm setting.

Attention to balanced nutrition and shelter that adapts to seasonal needs supports robust growth and temperament. Visitors note the calm nature of the herd and the transparent breeding practices shared during farm visits. He strives to offer cattle that serve both commercial herds and small ranches, reflecting a commitment to sustainable breeding and animal welfare. Facility tours and breed discussions are arranged by appointment.
