Welcome to Rancho La Carrera
Rancho La Carrera is a heritage cattle operation located in the mile-high rangelands of Sonora, Mexico. For generations, our family has raised cattle on native grasslands, guided by a deep commitment to land stewardship, animal integrity, and time-honored ranching practices.
We focus on low-input, pasture-based cow-calf production, emphasizing maternal strength, fertility, and structural soundness. Our cattle are grass-fed and grass-finished, raised entirely on open range without confinement or grain supplementation.
Well adapted to the rugged terrain of the Sierra Madre, our herd thrives in harmony with natural grazing cycles. Trusted by discerning beef buyers, Rancho La Carrera delivers a consistent, nutrient-rich supply rooted in tradition, elevated by care, and proven through generations.
