Better than Grass-Fed.
We have developed and fine-tuned a process over the years that produces exceptionally high quality beef, while remaining healthy and affordable. Our beef is grass-fed and supplemented with non-GMO grain for great marbling and amazing taste.
Our cattle eat non-GMO feed, and are raised as naturally as possible without operating under the expensive certified organic label. We raise our beef with:
No added growth hormones
No soy protein
No medicated feed
No antibiotics
Organic fly control and deworming methods
Free range, pastured grasses
Locally grown, non-GMO grain supplement
We practice rotational grazing, utilizing irrigation, so that our cattle fill up on pasture grasses during the warmer seasons. They are given free-choice alfalfa hay during the winter. We also feed them a small daily ration of grain to ensure delicious taste and good marbling. During the winter months our cattle live in a large outdoor pen with shelter and fresh bedding. The finish time on our beef is usually around 16 months. This system was carefully developed to provide healthy, nutritious meat while achieving maximum flavor and delectable taste. We are confident that not only will you be pleased with the leanness of our meat, but also the superb tenderness and flavor. And we are able to offer it at a price the average family can afford.
Why do we say “Better than grass-fed?”
Early on in our journey, we found we did not personally care for “grass fed” beef in that we found it too lean with a strong flavor we did not prefer. We began to wonder about the possibility of finding a happy medium where we enjoyed the beef without sacrificing too much of the healthy aspects of it. After several years of experimenting with different approaches to feed and with several different breeds of cattle we arrived at what felt like a good end product. We enjoyed the texture and flavor of the beef but could also tell it was clean and healthy.
With our end product complete we submitted it for nutritional testing to see where it stood against the much-discussed health benefits of grass fed beef. Much to our surprise we found that our beef met or exceeded traditional grass fed beef in all categories. While discussing this revelation we began to feel successful at “having our cake and eating it too.” In the end we felt strongly our product was “better than grass-fed” in that it was more tender and flavorful without sacrificing any health benefits or overall quality. We are confident you will agree once you have tried it.
