Matador Cattle
We use profitable regenerative ranching to raise healthy, low stress cattle and provide our customers with delicious, premium-quality beef. Our herd supplies premium market programs featuring Angus and Wagyu genetics.
Our approach
We consciously breed cattle suited for the environment and climate of Southwestern Montana. Nearly all of our calves are born out on the range and become integrated into the landscape, playing a role in the natural ecosystem. Our grazing management approach of intense grazing and long rest periods enables equal opportunity for vegetation species increasing biodiversity in our natural environment and resulting in more balanced animal nutrition in the long run. When the offspring are ready for the next stage, we move them into intensive rotational grazing areas, allowing us to closely monitor their nutrition and health in preparation for delivery to our premium customers.
Genetics
The Matador Ranch Seedstock Program produces high-qualityAngus bulls. The program utilizes best in class technology to breed bulls that are balanced in maternal and terminal function. Incorporating genomics testing, data analytics and environmental selection we develop breeding stock with longevity in mind that are genetically and phenotypically superior.
Stockmanship
We manage our cattle with practices that minimize stress. Our two-step weaning process helps make the separation from their mothers less traumatic for the calves.
Environment
Cattle are raised with plenty of open space and graze nutrient-dense, highly diverse forage. Our wide open range land and soil health benefit from our rotational grazing programs which increases resiliency to drought and adverse environmental conditions.
