Westhaven Longhorn Ranch

Westhaven Longhorn Ranch, Texas longhorns, Ione, CA, is located in Amador County and the Sierra Nevada foothills near Sacramento. It has been breeding cattle for over two decades, maintains registration with breed associations, and follows comprehensive health screening protocols including testing for Johne’s disease and leptospirosis. The ranch uses rotational grazing on open pastures and offers shaded loafing areas to support natural nutrition and well-being, and ensures calves are handled gently from birth to foster calm temperaments.

The ranch’s open-air barn and low-stress handling techniques help socialize calves and prepare them for varied working environments. The operation began as a family cattle farm in the 1980s, and several of its longhorns have earned attention for their unusual horn curvature in regional shows. Visitors note the ranch’s commitment to transparent record-keeping and the attentive care each animal receives. All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary exams and genetic screening to maintain herd health.
