HAVE Angus Ranch
HAVE Angus Ranch was established in 1993 by Jim Vietheer after more than two decades of working in the cattle industry. Veitheer met his business partner through 4-H as a student in the 1960s and continued his interest while working in other industries.
In 2008, Vietheer committed full time to the cattle operation and expanded the business to a total of 350 acres of pasture in Wilton, Sheldon, and Galt. To this day, the HAVE Ranch maintains a small herd of about 100 breeding cattle and is in partnership with other breeders in the region who share purebred embryos to increase the progeny numbers and expand the calf crop.
There are numerous purebred seedstock operations in Sacramento County, but HAVE is one of only about a half dozen that are nationally recognized as elite producers in the immediate area.
