Yorba Beefmasters

Yorba Beefmasters, a family-operated Beefmaster cattle ranch in Ramona, CA, is located in San Diego County near San Diego. Hector Yorba has bred Beefmasters for over a decade while ensuring industry-standard health protocols, including genetic screening and regular veterinary care. He works with breed associations and follows recommended testing for calving ease, fertility, and disease resistance to maintain herd quality. The herd grazes on open pastures with a rotational grazing system that supports animal welfare and land stewardship throughout the seasons. Calves are handled gently from birth to encourage calm temperaments and ease of handling in various conditions.

Animals grow slowly on a grass-based diet before finishing for consistent marbling and lean muscle quality in beef production. Pastures feature a mix of native grasses and legumes that bolster nutritional variety and forage availability year-round. The operation balances production goals with a family-centered approach, and reviews note responsible breeding practices alongside friendly service.
