Big Sur Beef

Big Sur Beef

Lonely Bull Cattle Co is a family-owned and operated cattle ranch based in Big Sur, California. Cows with all the character of the Santa Lucia Mountains.

We are driven by the desire to maintain traditional ranching practices while embracing the ever-growing body of knowledge regarding sustainable and regenerative grazing.

The nuanced flavor of our beef is a result of our cows being raised in the rugged hills on native grasses with care and attention to the health of the animals and the environment.

Mountain Pasture Raised Big Sur Beef

Our Principles


  • Tradition

    As often as possible we move cows utilizing traditional overland methods, gather the community for brandings, and practice the ranching methods we were raised with to continue the Big Sur Ranching tradition.

  • Environment

    Rotational grazing improves soil health and plant diversity. We manage each property with an eye toward invasive species management, watershed conservation, and fuel management.

  • Community

    We partner with public and private institutions and individuals to share the benefits of livestock grazing. We seek to be a visible part of the community, sharing resources, knowledge, and quality beef.
