Traditional & Authentic
Our Rich History
For generations, cattle ranching has been a vital part of the San Carlos Apache way of life. From the first cattle issued in 1884 to the development of Apache-owned ranching associations, the industry has played a key role in our community’s history. Today, we are working to revitalize our cattle industry by empowering a new generation of Apache ranchers.
Preserving Tradition, Strengthening the Future
What Makes Us Different
The San Carlos Apache Cattlemen’s Association isn’t just about raising cattle—it’s about preserving a legacy. Unlike commercial ranching operations, our approach is deeply rooted in Apache traditions, sustainability, and community-driven ranching. We are committed to:
- Revitalizing Apache Ranching – Passing down knowledge to a new generation while embracing modern techniques.
- Sustainable Stewardship – Caring for the land and livestock with respect, ensuring long-term success.
- Community-Centered Growth – Strengthening our economy by keeping ranching profits within the tribe.
We don’t just raise cattle—we honor our heritage and build a future for Apache ranchers.
