This herd has been under the continuous management of the Orvis family and a Harper cousin for four generations.

Orvis cattle are raised primarily at the historic Snow Ranch in northern Stanislaus county. They also spend time
in Bear Valley in the high sierras. Splitting time between the valley ranchland and the high sierras produces stronger, better
conditioned animals.
We had an early snow this year but the cows figured it our right away.

In addition to our registered herd, we raise Herefords and black-baldies (Hereford/Angus mix) for the grass fed beef market. |
