Welcome to the Double Check Ranch, producers of all-natural, grass-fed beef

About Us
We believe that responsible, small-scale agriculture is a critical, and currently, largely missing key to a responsible economy. Our mission is the production of humane and sustainable beef. We know that managing land well can restore the biodiversity that our landscapes are losing at a frightening rate. We have a biological plan to manage our land holistically, all our decisions are goal driven to ensure that they are socially, economically and environmentally sound. We are dedicated to improving our watershed.
Our beef comes from our ranch and local ranches near us.
We share our ranch with a variety of wildlife: mule deer, javelina, quail, rabbits and rattlesnakes, to name just a few. Coyotes, bobcats, and the occasional mountain lion are an important part of the balance. We feel that this balance is far more important than any economic loss we may incur losing a calf or two to a predator. Therefore, unless an animal is rabid or deviant, we do not control them.

About Our Ranch
The ranch headquarters lies on the western side of the Lower San Pedro River valley, facing east across the vast lands of the San Carlos Apache Nation. This is the heart of the region made famous during the U.S. Cavalry’s 1873-1880 western campaign under General George Crook. The land lies in the remarkable transition zone between Sonoran Desert, Chihuahuan Grassland, and Oak Woodland, fringed by the gallery forests of the Lower San Pedro River.
The other half of the operation is located at Cold Creek Ranch on the New Mexico border along the Mogollon Rim just east of Clifton. Together roughly 12,000 acres are under the direct management and care of the Double Check Ranch family enterprise.
