Durham Ranch raises and sources specialty proteins the right way—respecting the animal, the land, and the people who rely on our work.
From butcher’s block to open range.
In 1965, the Flocchini family brought old-world butchery standards to Wyoming ranching—founding Durham Ranch with a simple commitment: do it right, or don’t do it at all.
Bison wasn’t chosen for demand. It was chosen for responsibility.
Quality has no shortcuts. Responsibility has no finish line.
Durham Ranch has grown with purpose—from heritage roots to a complete specialty protein portfolio. What hasn’t changed is the standard behind every decision: discipline over compromise.

Old-world butchery craftsmanship serving San Francisco’s culinary community.
1965–2000s
Durham Ranch established in Wyoming—one of North America’s longest-running bison operations, built on open range and long-term stewardship.
2010s–Today
Expansion into a broader specialty portfolio—bison, Wagyu, venison, wild boar, elk, and more—held to the same family-led accountability.
Stewardship is the foundation. Systems make it dependable.
Our ranching and sourcing operations combine traditional care with disciplined execution—animal welfare protocols, audited partners, traceability, and cold-chain logistics designed to protect quality from origin to delivery.
We partner with responsible producers who can prove their standards—not just describe them.
A brand can’t manufacture integrity. People live it.
Durham Ranch is built by ranchers, family stewards, and long-tenured specialists who treat quality as a responsibility.. Many have spent 10, 20, even 30 years protecting the same standard across every animal, every partner, and every program.
The work doesn’t end at the ranch gate. It continues through disciplined distribution, cold-chain execution, and partners who share our standards.
Durham Ranch products are delivered through trusted operators, including Sierra Meat & Seafood, and supported by the broader Durham Meat & Seafood platform—designed for consistency at scale.
Durham Ranch continues to invest in regenerative land practices, traceability technology, and responsible sourcing partnerships—so programs can grow without standards slipping.
The land evolves. Systems improve. The promise stays the same: scale without compromise.
Honor the past by building a future worthy of it.
Whether you’re a chef, category manager, distributor, or specialty market, we’ll help you build specialty protein programs rooted in integrity—and supported with the consistency professionals require.
