| V6 Ranch Parkfield | beef | "...Many have known for years the health benefits of Parkfield life for people. Its beauty, wide open space and clean air have sent V6 Ranch Guests home refreshed, rejuvenated and restored. It turns out Parkfield is also ideal for raising cattle. The semi-arid climate raises grasses high in nutrients that, combined with the irrigated pastures on the V6 Ranch, create healthy, tender and tasty grass-fed beef. With this in mind, why send cattle to feedlots where many of the natural health benefits of beef are lost when cattle are finished on corn? Our grass-fed cattle live out their lives at the V6 Ranch on green pastures where they are not only happy cows but healthy cows too..." 805/463-2371 V6Ranch.com |
