OUR COMMITMENT TO RANCHING RESPONSIBLY

YOLO LAND AND CATTLE
Our philosophy at Yolo Land & Cattle Co. has always been "Take care of the Land, and the Land will take care of you." It is a philosophy we incorporate into all management decisions on our own ranches, as well as those we lease. Our goal is to leave the properties we manage in better condition than when we started as caretakers. The ranching business is dynamic and economically challenging, yet we believe that sound stewardship and regard for our impacts on the environment are critical for a viable future.
For many years, the working landscape of our ranch has been dramatically transformed, through the efforts of Scott Stone, our family visionary. In order to complete the numerous restoration projects on the ranch, we have developed close partnerships with multiple government agencies, non-profit organizations, universities, and private entities. With the help of these partners and allies, we constantly strive to improve our rangeland ecosystem, while producing a healthy product in an economically, yet environmentally sustainable manner.
As we evaluate new projects for our ranches, we examine several key components to determine if the benefits coincide with our goals and objectives:
  • Will the project benefit the watershed, increase the wildlife density/variety, or improve forage conditions?
  • Is there a public education benefit to the project?
  • Can any research data be utilized to further benefit the cattle industry and working landscapes?
  • Will the result enhance the long-term economic viability of the operation?
  • Which partners can we involve?
