About Our Family
Hello! We are the Pozas and Rizzi families and we are the 1st generation to live on and work this land here in the Beautiful Coyote Valley of California. Our Pozas Family members are father and mother James and Cynthia and their two children, Jamison and Emma. The Rizzi Family Members are father and mother Nick and Kim and their three children, Colton, Bowden and Grace. James and Nick have a devout interest and devotion to the cattle industry. With only being around the rodeo scene And local horsemanship associations here in California they took the risk and jumped feet first into the cattle business. They fell in love with the Wagyu Breed from Japan. Today they are running an efficient healthy sustainable cow calf operation producing the best American Wagyu. Also having enterprises in the Angus, Poultry and Pork Farming.
About Our Ranch
3Z Ranch is located in the mid-west of California in the Beautiful Coyote Valley with a Morgan Hill address. We raise and sell live animals and either grass-finished and or pre-ordered Non-GMO grain finished beef. We believe that we are good stewards of the land, and we practice conservational, regenerative ranching. We use other farm (add) animals like chickens and pigs to help nurture the soil by doing what they naturally do – eat, poop and pee. This practice brings back fresh grasses, and we rotationally move our cattle to these green pastures. It is our goal (change) to Provide the healthiest meat to local families using the most sustainable land practices. Our Grass-finished Beef and or mix of special-order Grain finished meat is all Prime Grade - We raise a cross of Wagyu – Angus called F1-F4 (American Labeling system of American Wagyu) and Full-Blooded Angus (add) cattle. The animals are born on our Ranch and live here (change) from birth to Harvest. Our mothers eat nothing but grass, drink fresh well water, minerals, and enjoy California sunshine. Mothers are our passion and very important to us and will live over a decade on the ranch. We even have names for them. We do not use antibiotics, vaccines or growth hormones in our market animals. We have our beef and other animals locally processed under USDA inspected facility where it dry-ages for 14 to 21 days before processing and is vacuum-wrapped and flash-frozen.
Premium Beef
A 2004 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition described animal experiments that revealed CLA’s wide range of benefits, including cancer reduction, enhancement of immunity, alleviation of allergies and asthma, decreased blood cholesterol and obesity reduction. The study suggested that certain high-marbling cattle breeds, and changes in feed to include more natural oils and grass hay or alfalfa, can have a dramatic impact on the amount of CLA contained within a serving of meat. In particular, the study highlighted the ability of the Wagyu breed to deposit high concentrations of CLA into its meat because of its extreme marbling characteristics. For example, when compared to the Limousin breed, the Wagyu breed deposited nearly two and half times more CLA in its meat. Furthermore, a 1995 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry highlighted, among other things, additional health benefits of Wagyu meat compared to other beef. Notably, the study highlighted Wagyu’s higher ratios of monounsaturated fatty acids (so called “good fat”) to saturated fatty acids, which is believed to prevent increases in blood cholesterol levels. In particular, it is the oleic acid in CLA (the same fatty acid component abundant in olive oil) that is the primary driver and contributor to Wagyu’s renowned flavor, beautiful marbling and nutritional benefits.
