Ranch History

Deep in historical Osage County, Oklahoma, Z7 Bar Ranch is nestled in the heart of tall grass country. The unique terrain offers some of the most beautiful landscapes from native wildflowers to magnificent hidden waterfalls and rock formations. The ranch is operated in the traditions of cattlemen and cowboys of this great cow country.

Debra Zinke purchased her first piece of land several years ago, and has since added on to establish what is now known as the Z7 Bar Ranch – home to 150 mother cows, and bred heifers. The ranch is also home to several species of wildlife, including white tail deer, bob white quail, and doves.

Z7 Bar ranch has an elite set of Fullblood Salers cows - one of the largest in the nation -offering the cowman the opportunity to excellent outcross genetics. Our Purebred cows offer the discriminating cowman the unique opportunity to select for the best genetics in the United States. Our Angus herd represents many of the top bloodlines in the Angus Industry today. These Angus cows are very maternal and functional females. Here at Z7 Bar ranch, we have the distinct opportunity to cross these two great breeds to produce the Optimizer genetics – sought after by many enthusiastic cattlemen.

Osage County is home to some of the greatest cattlemen, both past and present. With this tradition as our guide, Z7 Bar ranch sets our goals to be the best seedstock producer in Oklahoma and the nation. Our handshake and our word means as much today as it did in the early days of the great cattle barons of Osage County.
