Grass-Fed & Finished

We are committed to providing our customers with great tasting, fresh, healthful, sustainably and humanely raised natural 100% grass fed and 100% grass finished beef. Studies show that when cattle are raised humanely on grass they produce beef that is more nutritious. Cattle are ruminants — they are designed to eat grass, not grain. We raise cattle following the animal’s natural appetite and desire for free grazing.

GRASS-FED ANGUS BEEF

Our natural 100% grass-fed beef is humanely raised with no antibiotics or added hormones, and always raised on open pasture. Studies show that when cattle are raised humanely on grass they produce beef that is more nutritious. We raise all of our cattle on grass throughout their whole life. Instead of being sent to a feedlot, they are rotated through pastures and consume the available grasses and forages at their leisure. By providing the food source for which they are perfectly suited, their ruminant system or “gut” remains alive with cultures and bacteria that, when combined with the ingested grasses, forms a healthy nutritious alternative to the feedlot’s starchy corn ration. This ultimately leads to a much healthier animal and therefore much higher quality beef for consumption.

What is Grass Finished?

In a conventional cattle system, quite different from ours, when the calf reaches the yearling stage, it is typically shipped to a feedlot. In this type of system, in order to “finish” the animal, it is presented with a corn-dominated ration before it is sent to harvest. The animal by its very evolution is not equipped to process the starch in the corn ration. Cattle are not able to digest grains as well as grasses and forages, which leads to an increased risk of digestive disorders and illness, which may require antibiotics. However, this type of feeding system brings the cattle to the desired harvest weight in less time than a grass finishing method.

We believe in a different “finishing” system for our yearlings. Instead of being sent to a feedlot, our cattle are rotated through pastures and consume the available grasses and forages at their leisure. By providing the food source for which they are perfectly suited, their ruminant system or “gut” remains alive with cultures and bacteria that, when combined with the ingested grasses, forms a healthy nutritious alternative to the feedlot’s starchy corn ration. This different or alternative type of cattle nutrition system is known as grass finishing.
