I wanted to let you know how much I love the horse I bought from you last year. She learns so quickly and I constantly get compliments
on her everywhere I go on either her color or how well she works. She always meets me at the front of her pasture and is ready to work and has
been so easy to start and takes on every new challenge like it’s nothing, you’d think she’s been chasing cows and roping all her life.
She is the horse I have always dreamed of having.
I bought a beautiful buckskin colt from Mahlstedt Ranch. He is by Sanrose Blue Colonel. He will be my stallion. He is a sweet colt. They are really nice people to work with! Honest and caring. I also bought a quarter beef from them. Very tasty, much better than the store bought. You people are missing out!
What great folks to work with!! I bought from the Mahlstedt Ranch last year without every actually seeing him in person. As one would imagine, I asked lots of questions. My questions were answered fully and truthfully. They even volunteered information that they thought would be helpful to know. On the Mahlstedt website it says that they will tell the good and the not so good. How refreshing! They neither exaggerated the good, nor downplayed the not so good. Now, several months later, I realize that Lynx is even better than he was described. I am really happy with him & the Mahlstedt Ranch. Everyone should be so lucky as to do business with them.

Ranch Raised, Salers/Angus Beef
Purchase our MRI Beef for an incredible tasting experience! What should you consider when purchasing beef for your family? Even beef purchased at the local butcher is not necessarily locally raised beef. Depending on inspection standards, the beef they are cutting up is quite likely boxed beef shipped in to their store. When you purchase our beef, you know where it came from and that is was handled right.
