Our Heritage
Mount Echo Ranch is a testament to 6 generations of hard work and dedication to raising high-quality, naturally raised cattle. Our story began over a hundred years ago, rooted in a commitment to sustainable practices and preserving the integrity of our land. We take pride in our heritage and the premium quality of our cattle, ensuring that every animal is cared for with the utmost respect and attention. Our team is driven by a passion for excellence.
The Short Story....
Our family immigrated from southern Switzerland in the 1870s. Hard working and industrious, they settled in Amador County in 1878. Though we have a diversity of interests, and professions, our roots are deep. We continue to ranch, and our family continues to grow, here in the beautiful California foothills.
