Southern Cross Ranch

Southern Cross Ranch, Wagyu cattle, Esparto, CA, is nestled in Yolo County and the Sacramento area. Andrew Coates has spent more than a decade focusing on breed integrity with membership in national cattle associations and routine health testing for all breeding stock. Calves are raised on open pasture with daily handling to promote calm temperaments and early social bonds.

The ranch combines traditional grazing practices with tailored nutrition plans to support even growth and consistent marbling. All animals are fully registered, and detailed lineage records are maintained to ensure transparency in breeding. Visitors often note the relaxed farm atmosphere and attentive care, reflecting a commitment to sustainable husbandry. Herd size remains small enough to allow personalized care, and each adult animal is monitored individually throughout the year. Rotational grazing practices support pasture health and promote a sustainable environment for the cattle and surrounding land.
