Responsible Ranching for over 125
Years
The Mahon Ranch is an authentic, working
cattle ranch nestled in the Cosumnes
River Valley. (A true piece of
California’s heritage, the ranch
was first established in 1882 by John
Mahon.)
Like most of the family ranches and farms
in America, the Ranch has been witness
to the ebbs and flows of agricultural
enterprise. In the early years,
hops were the primary crops giving way
to grain, citrus, vineyards, beets, various
row crops as well as dairy and livestock
operations.
Today, the ranch custom raises their
own cattle, currently caring for a cow
/ calf herd of over 250 head. The ranch
also produces feed products such as hay
for local farmers and their animals throughout
the region.
“We believe in the balance of
land use and land preservation. As ranchers,
we must use the land wisely and conserve
resources to succeed.” |
