We start with the land, our ranch. What a delightful place on earth to be. We have excellent soil, a good growing season, great weather, and lots of water provided by our deep agricultural well. We are also very proud that we are fully complient with the National Organic Program practices. On that land we put the best cattle that our search led us to that finish well on grass and are gentle and easy to handle. Not only do we put cattle on our grass, we mimic nature by adding chickens to follow the cows. The chickens spread the cow manure (as birds did following the large buffalo herds), eat the fly larva and other bugs in the soil, and provide us with high nitrogen fertilizer for the grass, helping it to grow. Finally we add discipline in the form of a quality program that provides consistency and sustainable farm practices that insures the future of our enterprise and of our mother earth. Check out our Quality Program and our Environmentally Sustainable Grass Farming practices. These practices insure that we improve our soil and our environment over time and leave it in a better condition than when we found it..." 805/570-9000 BestBeefEver.com |
