Joe Fischer ~ Ranch Manager

Joe was born and raised in the Sierra Nevada Foothills in Calaveras County. Most of his cattle experience came from being involved in many of his family and extended family’s commercial cow/calf operations. From here his interest in beef production took him to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where Joe discovered his true passion for the registered cattle business. As his involvement in the donor and Embryo Transfer program at Cal Poly began to expand, his knowledge of all aspects of Embryo Transfer began to grow. Upon graduation, Bruin Ranch was seeking an additional employee with experience for their expanding Embryo Transfer program and a firm grasp of day-to-day operations on a working cattle operation. In June of 2005, he received a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science emphasizing on Livestock Production and began working at Bruin Ranch. As the ranch exponentially grew, Joe then began to increase the diversity of his position by working with bull buyers and marketing.
