“Litson Ranch is Native American Indian own and managed by Native Women.”
Litson Ranch is located at the center of the Navajo Nation in the communities of Tsaile and Wheatfields, AZ. Uniquely, the fourth (4th) generation ranch has prospered despite the challenges of access to grazing lands in Trust Status. We are fortunate to have had great grandparents, grandparents, and parents who recognized th
e value of the agriculture way of life. Cattle are rotated seasonally on Range Management Units and on an open range of the Chuska Mountain. As years passed, our visionary father, Bennie Litson, introduced several different breeds from Brahma cross, than to Limousin. Today, our cattle comprise of Limousin cows bred to Black Angus. Replacement heifers are Limousin crossed with Black Angus. As daughters of a visionary Diné Rancher, we are venturing out into a new market options that our children can continue to experience this way of life in modern society. We are obligated to ensure our children experience the same or better opportunities. As we secure the ranch, our exploration of new market opportunity and localizing our foods are important!
