Our Heritage — Northern Nevada

How It All Started

The Park family first established their ranching roots in the late 1800s after immigrating to northern Nevada and building a commercial cattle operation in Topaz, California.

Generations later, that same commitment to hard work, land stewardship, and quality continues to define everything we do today.

Built to Serve Ranchers and Families

When David Park took over the ranch in 1990, his mission was simple — continue serving the community while solving a growing problem: the lack of local livestock processing.

To meet that need, Park Ranch developed a 9,600-square-foot USDA and custom-exempt meat processing facility right here in Minden, Nevada.

This allows customers and ranchers to trace their animal from start to finish — a level of transparency that’s nearly impossible to find today.
