Lyndsee Cracraft

Lyndsee Cracraft raises Chianina cattle in Tracy, California, in San Joaquin County and the Central Valley near Stockton. Each animal is registered with the American Chianina Association and receives regular health screenings from a local veterinarian. The herd is pasture-raised on open fields, receiving balanced nutrition and daily handling to foster a gentle disposition.

Her family-run farm emphasizes sustainable practices and thoughtful husbandry, creating a calm setting where calves are socialized from birth. Hands-on care through all seasons, including routine hoof inspections and reproductive health monitoring, supports overall herd well-being. Selective breeding over several years focuses on strong bone structure and docile temperament, traits prized by both small ranchers and show enthusiasts. Visitors often comment on the herd’s calm behavior and the farm’s commitment to transparency in animal health and lineage records. Daily pasture rotations and improved forage varieties help maintain soil health and provide the cattle with nutrient-rich grazing.
