About Us

Nestled in the upper Southfork of the Shoshone River, about 40 miles from Cody, Wyoming, Ishawooa Mesa Ranch is where the rugged beauty of the West meets sustainable ranching. Our Angus and Hereford cattle roam freely across lush, open rangelands, nourished by the purest natural spring water and Wyoming’s diverse grasses. Raised without hormones or antibiotics, our cattle graze on a variety of native range grasses from June through October, and spend winters on irrigated pastures rich with diverse, nutritious forages. This combination gives our beef its uniquely flavorful taste—an expression of the land it’s raised on.

For over 20 years, we have perfected the art of grass finishing, ensuring our cattle achieve consistent weight gain and exceptional marbling without ever needing grain. We believe that caring for the land is as important as caring for our cattle. By practicing low-stress handling, with only horses guiding the herd, we ensure that our animals remain calm and well-adjusted, resulting in tender, flavorful beef. Our approach to grazing not only optimizes nutrition but also minimizes conflict with local wildlife, promoting harmony on the range. From our pastures to your plate, Ishawooa Mesa Ranch delivers beef you can trust, rooted in responsible stewardship and the timeless traditions of the West.

Laying hens, heritage-breed pigs, and sheep also graze our pastures where their manure is used as a natural fertilizer. Supplemental grain is organic and grown by farmers in neighboring Montana. Our animals, along with a bountiful garden, provide much of the food consumed on the ranch. We sell all our products locally at Sitti’s Table, pre-arranged delivery in the Cody area, and through Range Market. Our focus is on supporting the local food movement with quality meat and eggs raised the right way.
