About Us

Calamity Creek Cattle Company is a family-owned and operated cattle and ranch operation based in the Highland Chihuahuan Desert country of the Big Bend of Texas. The team raises Red Angus cattle sired from the highest quality genetics the Red Angus Breed offers. The operation was officially established in 2017 by Will and Jenny Wood. With a strong desire to be as transparent as possible, they knew third-party verification was the next step. IMI Global, a division of Where Food Comes From, Inc., has conducted onsite audits of their operation and has approved them for numerous programs. These include, Source & Age, Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC), Verified Natural Beef and CARE Certified, a holistic sustainability program that encompasses Animal Care, Environmental Stewardship and People & Community. They are proud to represent a traditional West Texas ranching environment that respects the land and its God-given resources.

Calamity Creek Cattle are all born and raised on ranch country in Brewster and Presidio Counties of West Texas. The ranch operates in a traditional method for the area, with calves being born in late winter, spring branding in April, and weaning calves in early fall. All cattle work is conducted horseback in accordance with the traditional West Texas custom that has been practiced for over 150 years. Once the calves are weaned, they are then backgrounded in West and South Texas and later finished out in Northwestern Oklahoma at Cattlemen's Choice Feed Yard. The cattle, when finished, are sold in all-natural NHTC meat markets distributed throughout the United States.

The Wood family resides in both San Antonio and Alpine, Texas, and have always consumed their own beef raised on the ranch. In 2020, due to meat shortages, the Woods donated much of their beef supply to family and friends to assist in providing superior quality protein to those in need when it was difficult to find quality meat at retail markets. Immediately, many families requested to purchase beef because of its great taste and quality. In 2021, the Wood’s acquired a Texas Department of Agriculture Meat Label to facilitate direct to consumer beef sales. The mission and goal of Calamity Creek Cattle Company is to provide the highest quality verified all-natural beef and share their brand of Red Angus Beef, which they love, with everyone.
