Our Story
Located in Hidalgo County, deep in South Texas near the Rio Grande River and the Mexican border, Santa Ana Ranch has raised top-quality Beefmaster cattle since 2002. Family owned and operated, our cattle are pasture-raised using organic practices.
Dr. Alvaro Restrepo and his wife Ana had a vision of a solid red herd of high-quality, functional Beefmasters that would consistently deliver polled performance genetics. Over 20 years later, Santa Ana Ranch has the strongest and largest herd of polled Beefmasters in South Texas, with sleek red coats and ideal dispositions.
Our motto is to raise Beefmasters that are polled, red and good. Every year at the end of February we host the Beefmaster Border Classic on the ranch, so buyers can see how our cattle are cared for and the stock they come from.

What Our Customers Say

"Easy-fleshing, pasture-developed heifers that bred back quickly. We'll be at the ranch again in February."
