Sebesta Ranch

Sebesta Ranch raises Hereford cattle in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Northern New Mexico near Albuquerque. They follow industry-recognized breed standards, maintain comprehensive health and genetic records for every animal, and prioritize transparency throughout calving, weaning and postpartum care.

Their husbandry emphasizes rotational grazing across shaded pastures, the use of sheltered loafing areas, low-stress handling and frequent socialization to build a gentle disposition. Breeding goals focus on docility, feed efficiency, structural soundness and temperament, supporting both commercial beef operations and small-farm or hobby breeders. Under Jamey Thompkins’s care, routines balance traditional ranch methods with sustainable grassland management, water conservation practices and soil health initiatives.

Local ranchers often note consistent weight gains, uniform frame development and healthy weaning weights in calves born on the ranch. Visitors comment on the ranch’s serene landscape, modern handling facilities and the herd’s calm temperament, reflecting daily attention to animal welfare, nutritional balance and pasture health.
