Large Cattle Ranches for Sale in Northern California

Martinez Ranch Management & Real Estate has been buying, selling and managing cattle ranches in Northern California for over 60 years. From our office in Red Bluff, we work with ranchers and investors looking for working cattle operations across Tehama, Shasta, Siskiyou and Butte counties, and into Southern Oregon and Nevada.

We’re not a general real estate office. We manage ranches and run cattle, so we look at every property the way a cattleman would: how many pairs it carries, when the feed is there, and how secure the water is. That’s the knowledge you want on your side whether you’re buying your first ranch or adding summer ground to an existing operation.

Cattle ranches we've sold

by acreage

A few of the working ranches we've represented. Each one sold to buyers who needed real carrying capacity, reliable water and the right season of use.

What we look at on every cattle ranch

Carrying capacity

How many pairs the ranch has really run, and whether that's year-round or seasonal. We look at grazing history, not just acreage.

Season of use

Valley foothill winter range and high-country summer ground in Siskiyou County and Southern Oregon work as a pair. We help buyers match the two.

Water

Creek diversions, springs, irrigation districts, ag wells and stock water. We check what the ranch has and how reliable it is.

Working facilities

Corrals, chutes, livestock scales, hay barns and fencing. Good improvements save a new owner years of work.

Ranch management after you buy

Many of our buyers keep working with us after closing. We help ranch owners with carrying capacity, grazing leases and running cattle, so the ranch earns its keep from the first season.

Cattle ranch questions

What size cattle ranches does Martinez sell?
Everything from smaller working ranches of around 100 acres to large operations of several thousand acres. Recent sales include Willow Creek Ranch (726 acres), White Mountain Ranch (998 acres), Cooley Ranch (4,160 acres) and Lava Lakes Ranch (5,329 acres).
Do you sell both winter and summer range?
Yes. Cooley Ranch near Red Bluff was winter range running up to 275 spring pairs, while White Mountain Ranch in Siskiyou County is summer pasture. Many of our buyers pair a valley winter ranch with summer ground further north.
Can you help me find a cattle ranch that isn't on the market?
Often, yes. Plenty of ranch sales in Northern California happen quietly. Tell us what you need, how many pairs and in which area, and we'll let you know what we hear about.
Can you manage the ranch for me after the sale?
Yes. Martinez offers ranch management, including grazing leases, capacity planning and running cattle, for owners who don't live on the ranch full time.
