With a vision of raising premium Wagyu Beef, Rick and Stephanie Carter began Black Jack Ranch in 2005. After some time, and continued growth, Black Jack Ranch is now an exquisite property boasting a thriving seedstock and beef program of Wagyu, Black Angus and F1 cattle, sprawled across Stone County Mississippi. Alongside our premium beef cuts and beef reservations, our ranch storefront showcases a true farm to market experience. Need something to elevate for your beef, we have a seasoning, dip or side for that. Need a certain kind of cut for that family cookout or special occasion, we have a variety of options to suit everyone. Maybe you need something sweet to pair with the savory, try one of our many puddings, cakes or freshly baked cookies. Whether you are new to the farm to market scene, or you have stopped by before, our storefront is continually growing with the goal of putting the best local beef and market products, at the best prices, on the plates of our customers.

What Makes Our Products Great?

Our pasture raised beef is grass-fed and grain finished, with an enhanced flavor, tenderness and marbling that is second to none. The ranch storefront, located in Wiggins, is continually growing, showcasing a true farm to table market. Visitors not only see where their beef is from, but on Saturday’s they have the chance to taste before they buy, through our sweets samples, home cooked meal, and food truck. Alongside our premium beef, bone butters, broths and all natural soap and tallow skincare products, we invite you to savor our jerky and farm to market products, fresh bakery treats, puddings, cakes, homemade jams, breads and butters. At Black Jack Ranch, the utmost care and dedication are poured into maintaining our cattle and exquisite pastures, with a goal to put the best local beef on the plates of our customers. We firmly believe the care we invest directly contributes to the creation of exceptional herds and premium products.
