Taft Family Ranch

Taft Family Ranch raises Hereford cattle in Descanso, CA, in San Diego County near San Diego. The ranch has been breeding Hereford cattle for multiple generations and holds active membership in the American Hereford Association. All breeding stock undergoes regular health screening and genetic tests to support sound structure and strong maternal traits that benefit herd longevity. Calves grow up on open pasture with daily handling that fosters a calm and curious temperament and ease of movement.

Winter forage is supplemented with mineral-rich baleage sourced from neighboring farms and fed alongside a custom trace mineral mix. Their herd includes sires with proven performance in calving ease and weight gain that reflect careful selection over time. A neighbor recently noted the even-keeled nature of the cattle during livestock fairs. Their commitment to low-stress handling shines through each stage of the breeding cycle.
