list, whether they are buying replacement heifers, bulls or beef. Our cattle are raised on pasture without the use of hormones, steroids and feed antibiotics.

We raise registered Angus and Hereford cattle as well a few Angus X Hereford crossbreds.
Our genetics favor flavor and tenderness and all product is dry aged for a minimum of 21 days before

Humane treatment is a top priority for our ranch. Cattle are moved with horses & worked in a
quite
corral environment with the use of a chute to prevent injury.
