dHb Ranch History
Mahogany Butte Ranch was homesteaded in 1884 then acquired by Carl Hampton in 1946. As current 4th generation ranchers, we focus solely on high quality, grass-fed and grain finished Black Angus beef. For over 70 years, the Hampton family has built a tradition of natural and ethical ranching to produce high quality beef.
