Come with us to Kamuela on Hawaii Island, where Zanga Schutte raises Angus cattle at Z-Bar Ranch.
Zanga grew up on homestead land. Ranching is in his blood. Through watching and listening to other ranchers, he’s developed a holistic approach to ranching that focuses on being a steward of the ‘aina and attentive to his cattle’s needs.
His caring approach shows in his herd’s gentle temperament - and in the beef. “You get more tender beef because they’re not stressed,” he says.
