Protocols

Our cattle are raised on grass for over three quarters of their life then finished with a balanced grain fed ration for approximately 120 days.  We harvest our own hay, source the grain from our local feed mill and mix the ration on the ranch. We believe this makes the best quality beef.

Dry aging is a process of hanging the whole carcass in the locker’s cooler. Our USDA butcher dry ages our beef at a constant 32 degrees F for 2 weeks to give the meat extra tenderness and flavor.

THE BEEF QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM'S MISSION IS TO GUIDE PRODUCERS TOWARDS CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT USING SCIENCE-BASED PRODUCTION PRACTICES THAT ASSURE CATTLE WELL-BEING, BEEF QUALITY AND SAFETY.

Beef Quality Assurance is a program that provides systematic information to U.S. beef producers of how good husbandry techniques can be coupled with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management conditions. BQA programs have evolved to include best practices around cattle handling, facility management, cattle transportation, good record keeping and protecting herd health, which all result in better outcomes for cattle and producers. Today, having an active BQA certification is more important than ever because the full beef supply chain is leveraging the program to ensure our commitment to food safety, cattle well-being, and beef quality

Taking responsibility…because it’s our job, not someone else’s.

Empowering people…because producers can make a difference.

Working together…because product safety and wholesomeness is everyone’s business.
