Welcome to the forum. Google is your friend:

The Latin phrase, "uva uvam vivendo varia fit" that appears on the Hat Creek Cattle Company is a corruption of the latin phrase "uva uvam videndo varia fit" from the scholia to Juvenal 2.81. It means, literally a grape changes color i.e., ripens when it sees another grape.

If that's Latin tranlate please.
