Founded in 1995 by Antone Deluz, Triple 'D' ranch is approximately 600 acres
and features a cow herd as well as grass fats for market. The cow herd is
made up of Charolais crossed with Beef master. Most of the grass fat herd
is Charolais cross. Antone uses an Angus bull. His cow herd calves
all year around.
Finishing cattle started with Antone's father who was a rancher and grass
farmer before Antone. Antone recalls providing meat in his father's day to
the Pa'auilo Store, Papa'aloa Store and Taniguchi.
Words of Wisdom: "...to finish (cattle), you need to be a grass farmer..."
