Welcome to the Ranch

Roberti Ranch is a family-owned cattle and hay operation located in beautiful Sierra Valley. Today the ranch is operated by Elmer and Helen Roberti's three sons and their families.

When it became apparent that all three Roberti brothers desired to stay on the ranch, they began building a hay business by converting sagebrush land to alfalfa fields.  The ranch now consists of nearly 6,000 acres.  Of those acres, 2,000 are in alfalfa and 1,500 of those are under irrigation. 

The commercial cow herd is made up of roughly 225 spring calving cows and 275 fall calving cows that winter in the foothills of Northern California. The spring cows stay home in Sierra Valley and start calving in March.                                                                                                                                                                                 

In addition to living and working on the ranch, the Roberti brothers each have their own area of expertise.  Jim and Dave spend most of their time on the farming side of the operation, while Rick is in charge of cattle.  Dave and his wife, Jane, take care of financial records and they run the ranch office. 

Helen, also known as Grammy, enjoys preparing lunch on weekdays for the family and whoever else might be working on the ranch. Often she has a full table of family members and sometimes friends who stop by around the noontime meal hour to visit or talk business. In the summer the hay crew also eats lunch at Grammy's house. Helen's dedication to her family and the business has been a tremendous part of the ranch's success.
