Our History
Niman Ranch started in the early 1970s on a family-owned cattle ranch in Bolinas, CA, a small coastal town just north of San Francisco. Back then, our cattle were Raised with Care® using traditional, humane methods with wholesome, all-natural feeds – the same way we raise them today. The buzz about our great tasting beef spread quickly and, before long, our burgers and steaks became favorites in local grocery stores and popular San Francisco Bay area restaurants.

In 1995, we expanded to raising hogs when we met farmer Paul Willis of Thornton, Iowa. At the time, Paul was busy revitalizing sustainable hog farming methods in the Midwest, moving away from the common industrial practices. His dedication to animal welfare and stewardship of the land closely matched our stringent principles. A partnership was quickly formed, allowing us to proudly offer a variety of proteins.

Ew. No.

Cade can come to Madison.

He seems like a perfect Badger Qb. Smart, efficient, yet not overly flashy, but gets the job done.

Yeah, this one is tough.  You have a kid with a low ceiling, who just won you your first Big Ten title in two decades, and a much higher ceiling kid behind him.  In the transfer portal era.  Granted you need a first two games set up like this to get away with it, but I think what Harbaugh is doing makes WAY more sense than having them each take some series during each game.

Hell Lloyd Carr struggled with this 25 years ago, when there was no portal, and the upperclassman "program guy" he was trying to work in was Tom f'ing Brady

That's what I like.

Although I'd settle for another Russell Wilson.

This seems like a way to make a change while softening the blow to Cade.

I’d say it might be a defense against a transfer, but the kid wouldn’t gain much in terms of PT and has two years left.

Ironically that’s who I thought of, although Russell was far more athletic.

um...not only far more athletic but also possessed a WAY bigger arm. Russell Wilson been throwing deep bomb dimes since day one. That ain't in Cade's wheelhouse.

Michigan's interior OL should be the best it's been in like a long time. Not sure how it's possible but they actually got an upgrade at Center with the All-American transfer from Virginia. Their guards are rock solid and experienced with Trevor Keegan and Zak Zinter. Tackles should be pretty solid with upperclassmen Ryan Hayes at LT and Trente Jones at RT. Should be a really good OL.

Getting Ronnie Bell back at WR is huge. He was poised for a breakout year last year and was looking phenomenal that first game until the injury. Erik All is a sneaky good TE. Think he's the best they've had since Jake Butt. Their RB duo of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards has big-time big play-making ability. I think they'll miss Haskins tough in between the tackle running, but Edwards has much more game-breaking home run speed and to me he looks freaky talented as a pass catcher and route runner and allows them to do so much more in the passing game with the RB's.



The only ? mark I have on the offense is who is the QB and will Harbaugh hamstring what should be an explosive offense with really solid weapons everywhere.
