Welcome to the ranch

A small ranch with a lot going on

Salt Creek Ranch & Co. is a working ranch near Umpqua, Oregon, run by William Koehler. We raise grass-fed cattle, along with a flock of Katahdin hair sheep, Spanish meat goats, a string of Packer pack goats (including 12 Packer nannies with kids), and a busy yard of chickens and ducks.

Whether you’re looking for breeding stock, a pack goat for the trail, grass-fed meat for the freezer, or a dozen fresh eggs, we’d be glad to hear from you.
