Retail
Thanks for your interest in partnering with Thomas Cattle Company to serve our premium all natural angus beef.
The Thomas Family
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. On occasion we purchase natural cattle from a few trusted partner producers that utilize our registered bull genetics or the same quality angus genetics.
The 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.
The Home Ranch
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.
Care for our Cattle
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.
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 Passion
24/7/365 the team at Thomas Cattle Company approaches their roles with passion. Ranching isn't a profession you do half-heartedly. It's a commitment you make day in and day out to wake up and do your best to serve your herd. At TCC we hire the best and most passionate in the business because we know that translates to better beef for our customers.
