History| Holding Ranch was established in 1994 by Hunter and Anne Holding as a black angus breeding operation. Before investing in angus cattle, Anne and Hunter visited leading breeders throughout the country to learn about their operations and look at their cattle. They finally bought three foundation cows, two from a well-known bloodline in Virginia and one from an equally famous bloodline in Kansas. The Holdings expanded their herd through embryo transfer and artificial insemination, and in 1996 began selling bulls to commercial cattle ranches and heifers to other angus breeders. Their cutting-edge genetics helped them become established as successful breeders.

As the Holdings established their breeding business, many people visited their ranch in suburban Lafayette and asked if they would offer angus beef. These inquiries became so numerous that in 2004 the Holdings decided to offer retail cuts of beef at the ranch. Demand was very high, and in 2005 they decided to increase production of beef and offer it at the Walnut Creek Farmers Market. Business has continued to increase, and the Holdings now offer their beef at the Concord Farmers Market (Todos Santos Plaza) every Tuesday. |
