What do your cattle eat in the winter?Winters are trying times for our cattle. Wyoming winters are harsh with consistent deep snow and high winds. Even through these trying times, our animals still need to graze. We feed our animals our own hay that has been harvested from our meadows and stored.
-
Growing Grass fed & Grass FinishedGrowing grass fed beef requires more patience and time. Our animals eat only from the native grasses forbs and legumes from the native pastures and meadows on the ranch. We do not finish them on corn or grain. By finishing them on grass, it takes a little longer to get them to the appropriate weight for processing. When we work our cattle, we do it quietly and humanely to keep their stress level as low as possible. We are proud to only raise and sell grass fed & grass finished beef and we believe the quality and difference will speak for itself.
-
Can I cancel my order?You may cancel your order at any time, however, the deposit will not be returned to you. Our processing dates fill fast and we want to ensure our customers receive their processed meat when they want it. A cancelation leads to trying to find a customer to take the beef you canceled and may also lead to storing the meat until we can find another customer.
