Flying F Ranch
Our Story
Flying F Ranch is located in the beautiful mountains of San Diego, California. Many people wouldn’t think of cattle grazing in open pastures when San Diego comes to mind. However, we are here and we are proud and thankful to ranch in such a beautiful area of California.
My husband, Bryce, and I, Alli, met back in 2005 when we were in high school. I was an incoming freshman, and he was to be a junior. We started dating that fall and ended up going to college together in San Diego and got married in June 2014. We received a unique wedding gift from my dad, ten heifers (young female cattle that haven’t had a calf yet). That was the start of “The Flying F” herd.
Those ten heifers made us develop our own operation that has transformed into something that is our own. We dreamt of selling our beef direct-to-consumer locally in the San Diego community. We have succeeded in providing high quality and delicious whole and half custom beef to our locals. It has been a true honor to feed the folks of San Diego and develop a connection from ranch to plate.
Another project we have been working on the past few years is our Registered Black Angus herd. We have had success with gorgeous weaned calves that we have been marketing for our bulk custom cut beef program. The purpose of our registered Black Angus program is to improve genetics in both our commercial and registered herds to develop a superior beef direct to consumer experience.
We utilize spent brewers grain from local craft breweries to provide to our cattle as extra nourishment and backgrounding. Our mother cows absolutely love it to keep up with growing and feeding healthy calves. As well, they put less stress on our pastures because of the extra feed intake, allowing healthy natural grasses to flourish even better. In addition, the leftover grain is recycled back into our finishing steers as a beneficial feed source full of protein, fiber, and energy to develop delicious beef. We love seeing our products work synergistically and full circle. Sustainability is a subject we believe in and are passionate about.
We are proud to serve our community and love to help make the connection from the ranch directly to your plate.

More About Our Beef
Flying F Ranch beef is raised from birth to harvest right here on the ranch. We believe in feeding our beef as sustainably as possible while also providing them with an exceptional life.
We grow our own oat hay and feed spent brewer’s grain as our weaned calves grow and develop.
During the last 3 months, we feed a high quality beef builder grain to create delicious beef for your family. Beef is processed about 15 months of age on average.
Our cattle have access to open pastures and mountain spring water year round.
We use Certified Angus Beef genetics to produce high marbled, tender, top quality beef! As generational ranchers, we are proud to serve our local community by prioritizing sustainable use of the land to optimize the health of our cattle.
Additionally, we are Beef Quality Assurance certified, which means we strive to use the best handling and care for our cattle their entire lives. We practice good husbandry techniques and accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management conditions.
We can’t wait to meet you this weekend!

Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet Of The Week
Addison Has Her Eye on You
Your new best friend is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center! Addison, an 8-month-old Australian Cattle Dog blend, has been bouncing in her kennel in anticipation for her forever family. This lovable girl has a plethora of energy that makes every day fun and exciting. She loves playing games in the field like fetch and chasing her toys. She also LOVES playing in the yard with other dogs. We just want to make sure she’ll get along with your dog first, so they’ll have to meet face to face before you can take her home. She’d also prefer a home with older kids who can give her the respect she deserves. When she’s all tuckered out after a day of playing, she’ll curl up next to you on the couch and eagerly accept belly rubs.
Addison is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. Her adoption fee is $375 plus a $36 microchip fee. She has been altered and is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. Addison is microchipped for identification as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center.
Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open seven days a week; Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call 858-756-4117, extension #1, or visit animalcenter.org.
