By Ranchers, For Ranchers
Our story
At Ranchers Connecting Ranchers, we believe the integrity of the cattle industry starts with transparency, trust, and a handshake you can count on. As a third-party verification company proudly owned and operated by a multi-generational ranching family, we understand the values, challenges, and day-to-day realities that come with raising cattle.
We created Ranchers Connecting Ranchers because we saw a need for a more honest, straightforward approach to verification, one rooted in real ranching experience, not red tape. Our goal is simple: to audit cattle that meet the qualifications for the programs and verify them so that buyers can have confidence in what they are buying at the sale.
What We Do
We provide independent, on-the-ground verification services that support the cattle industry’s best practices in animal care, traceability, and production standards. Whether you're marketing source-verified calves or looking to strengthen the value of your herd, we're here to help you back your word with credible, third-party assurance.
Why It Matters
In a world where labels and claims are everywhere, true verification matters more than ever. We work directly with producers to certify practices they already believe in, because we’re ranchers too. Our reputation is built on honesty, relationships, and a deep respect for the land and livestock we steward, strengthened by our commitment to thorough animal third party audit practices.
Our Mission
To serve the ranching community by providing reliable, rancher-focused verification services that strengthen market access, elevate trust, and support the sustainability of the cattle industry.
“RCR is a hassle free and easy to work with verification company. Whenever I call, a phone is answered by someone that I am familiar with and they always get the job done. I’ve used other companies in the past, and RCR is by far the best I have worked with.”
