Our family has been raising cattle in Kern County for over 150 years and we are proud to offer high quality, local beef from our ranch to your table. Our cattle graze on the mountains at our family owned ranch surrounding Walker Basin and are then finished on grain at a family owned feedlot in Bakersfield. All our beef is aged for 21 days before being finished into delicious cuts for you to enjoy. Our beef is all natural and the cattle have never been given antibiotics or hormones.

Rankin Beef It’s What’s For Dinner…we hope not!

All joking aside, the reintroduction of wolves into California poses a significant threat to our way of life. Our ranch provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, and we are no stranger to predators (mountain lions, coyotes, bears). Our family has dealt with these animals for generations, but this is different. The wolves have been reintroduced into an ecosystem that cannot support them. We do not have an abundance of deer, elk, or the like, so what is their next option for survival? Livestock.

This was today’s update on the location of BEYO3F a 3 year old female gray wolf that “dispersed” from the Yowlumni Pack in Tulare County. She has been traveling south and her location was on the far west side of the ranch about 2 weeks ago before continuing on through Tehachapi and then into parts of Los Angeles County. Now she’s back and literally passed right through Walker Basin. The better part of this marker is over our ranch.

We can only hope that she doesn’t stay long, but really that is a selfish opinion. Wherever she roams, she has to eat. Ranchers in Northern California dealt with significant losses (80+ confirmed kills) before 4 wolves from the Beyem Seyo Pack were removed in late 2025. Will she develop the same habits of surviving on a diet of cattle?

Time will tell the depth of the impact wolves will have, but by then their population will have increased to numbers that are far more difficult to control.

We have known it is only a matter of time before we are impacted, and to be honest it might just be a matter of time before you are too. Let us know how you feel when that yellow marker lands on your family’s homes and your animals habitat.
