Simplot Ranching Operations
The Land & Livestock Group of the Simplot Company manages 15 ranches. These ranches are located in Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Utah. Our ranches comprise one of the largest cow/calf operations in the United States, with a capacity for 30,000 head of mother cows.
We rank second out of the top 10 cow/calf operations in the United States. We run a variety of breeds, depending on the terrain they will graze in, but mainly Angus cross.
We run on a variety of lands, including United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) & private lands that range from trees, to shrubs, to meadows, to desert, to irrigated pastures.
These ranches consist of 273,246 deeded acres and 2,327,568 acres of public land managed by the BLM and U.S. Forest Service--in all, about twice the land area of the state of Delaware.
