Thanks for visiting the Veteran’s Ranch website. The Pattison's main ranch is in sunny Gilbert, Arizona located in the East Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Veteran's Ranch raises fine Nubian dairy goats and registered Black Angus cattle primarily for the backyard aficionado that wants to give their family the very best. We carry top Nubian lines including Six M Galaxy, Goddard Farm, Black Mesa, Pennyroyal, Reuel, Goldthwaite, Jacobs's Pride and Crow's Dairy among others. Our goal is to satisfy our client’s demands for excellent milking dairy goats and high yield beef cattle.  Our philosophy revolves around excellent temperament and production as well as conformation and quality. Veteran's Ranch is a member of the American Dairy Goat Association, the International Nubian Breeders Association and the American Angus Association.

The 2011 ADGA cheese competition was again a great success for us. We placed 1st with our unique recipe, Cheta with Olives and 2nd with our Cabra al Vino. The 2011 Arizona State Fair was also a great success. The Cheta with Olives, Cabra al Vino, Ruby Feta and Dulce de Leche Cortada all took 1st place. A special thanks to Todd and Kelly Bostock from Dos Cabezas Winery for their wonderful Arizona wines that were used in the elaboration of Cabra al Vino & Ruby Feta. Last year we also participated in the American Dairy Goat Association cheese competition held in Tucson, Arizona. Our "Freedom" cheese placed 2nd in the amateur hard cheese division. Over 200 entries from all over the US from both amateur and commercial cheesemakers were entered. We are very proud and we will continue to master our techniques. Read all about it here.

     

All our goats and cattle, as well as the other many animals around the farm must qualify and be used as pet therapy animals. We also run a non-profit organization called Pets Helping Vets which serves veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.
