The Land Behind the Beef
Shasta Lily Ranch is a small family farm in Red Bluff and Montague, CA built around a simple belief: healthy land and healthy cattle go hand in hand. The name Shasta Lily comes from the beautiful flowers that grow around our pastures. For us, the name reflects the connection between our ranch the land that sustains it.

Our Approach
How we care for the land and raise our cattle.
Rotational Grazing
Moving cattle through different areas of pasture allows grazed areas time to recover while making use of the natural relationship between cattle and grassland.
By giving pastures periods of rest between grazing, rotational grazing can help support healthy plants, soil structure, and more sustainable use of the land. It is a management approach that works with natural cycles of grazing, recovery, and regrowth.
At Shasta Lily Ranch, rotational grazing is part of our commitment to caring for the land that supports our cattle. We pay attention to the condition of our pastures and manage cattle movement with the goal of allowing the land to remain productive and healthy over time.
Rotational Farming
Healthy ranching begins with healthy soil. Land-focused practices can help protect soil, support surrounding ecosystems, and maintain productive pastures over time.
Thoughtful land management works with natural processes to care for the soil and the landscape, helping create a more resilient ranch for the future.
Regenerative Farming
Regenerative farming is a holistic approach to ranching that focuses on improving soil health, supporting healthy ecosystems, and caring for the land over time.
Rather than simply maintaining the land, regenerative agriculture looks at how ranching practices can contribute to the health and resilience of the entire system. Healthy soil, healthy pastures, responsible livestock management, and careful stewardship all play a role in that process.
We believe that taking care of the land is part of taking care of the cattle — and that both are essential to producing the quality beef we are proud to share.
