Connolly Ranch

Established in 1870

Connolly Ranch is a 150 year old continuously operated family-owned and operated cattle ranch located in the southern corners of San Joaquin and Alameda counties overlooking the Great Central Valley and Northern Diablo Range 0f California. 

We value the land and what nature provides, hard work and our family tradition of ranching. Our vision is to manage the ranch land and cattle operation in a sustainable manner that protects the land’s beauty and natural resources. Our mission is to maintain the ranch as natural open space that is passed on to future generations.
