Four Generations of Washington Ranching Excellence Since 1918

Century-Long Tradition

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1918

The Van de Graaf story begins with Dutch immigrants in 1918, culminating in the modern, multi-ranch operation that spans Central Washington. For over a century, our name has stood for ranching excellence, with a deep personal investment in every herd and pasture.

Environmental Stewardship

At Midvale Cattle Company, our near "closed-loop" approach includes family-owned feedlots, grass protection, composting, and hay production. We fight our own fires, grow our own hay, and raise our own herds—all while maintaining the highest standards of environmental responsibility.

Family, Land, and Livestock—Raised Together

Generations of Van de Graafs have built on Dick Van de Graaf's legacy—growing the operation while remaining self-sustaining and community-minded.
