welcome to thomas cattle company!
FROM OUR FAMILY RANCH TO YOUR FAMILY'S TABLE
Seth & Elizabeth Thomas, and Logan & Kristin Thomas own and operate Thomas Cattle Company, a third-generation ranching operation with ranches in Idaho and Oregon.
Rare is a ranching operation that can successfully retain ownership through the life cycle of the animal and provide year around supply. With a large herd base, we can meet even our larger customers' needs.
In southwestern Idaho, the Thomas family raises their family and their herd in the mountain desert of the Owyhee's. With elevations that run from 2,700 feet up to 7,200 feet, there is a wide expanse of terrain for the herd to roam free, for most of the year, on tens of thousands of acres.
OUR CATTLE
Thomas Cattle Company raises all natural Angus beef with exceptional attention to humane handling practices, a focus on consistency and attention to detail, and a superior focus on the health of the herd.
Humanely raising our Angus herd is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that the better care we take of our cattle, the better they will serve our end customer in their quality and product consistency. We take pride in our attention to detail in animal husbandry practices.
At TCC, our premium all natural beef is grass-fed and grain-finished.
For 85% of the life of our beef, they graze feed in the Owyhee Mountains and our ranches in southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The cows and calves head up the mountains in March and then in October and November of each year, we are moving them back down the mountains to our homeplace in Oreana, ID.
For the last 120-150 days of their life, our cattle are fed a ration of grass and alfalfa, with a side of corn, all grown locally in our local valley. Finishing with grain provides superior marbling, tenderness and rich taste in TCC all natural beef.
Typically, our beef grades prime or choice, the top two grades of beef available that you would receive in a nice restaurant. We deliver that same quality beef directly to you; at a lower price than the cost you’d pay in a nice restaurant.
WE CARE FOR OUR LAND
Stewardship of our Land
Thomas Cattle Company regularly partners with agencies such as the USDA and NRCS to implement programs to improve the range ground for our herd as well as other native species. TCC was featured in a 2017 BEEF magazine article, "Thomas Brothers make the ground better in Idaho's Owyhee Mountains." We believe that the better we care for our ranch land, the better we will leave it for children's future and all those who use it.
OUR WHY
Our Passion
24/7/365 the team at Thomas Cattle Company approaches their roles with passion. Ranching isn't a profession you do half-heartedly.
