Raw-Ute Ranch LLC

Raw-Ute Ranch LLC is a family-owned operation that raises Wagyu cattle in Hooper, UT, in the Great Salt Lake region near Ogden. Led by Tana Gooch, the ranch follows industry guidelines and maintains regular health testing for all breeding stock.

Cattle graze on open grass pastures and are handled daily to promote calm temperaments and natural growth. The ranch team balances time-honored ranching practices with attentive herd management to support even marbling. Visitors often remark on the welcoming atmosphere during farm tours and the clear information shared about local breeding lines.

Sales focus on select breeding pairs, allowing each animal to receive personalized care before moving to new herds. Each calf is monitored for growth milestones and introduced to rotational grazing schemes designed to encourage robust health. Despite its modest size, the operation keeps calf groups small for personalized attention and gentle acclimation to herd life.
