How is Your Beef Raised?
Our cattle have the best of two worlds! They spend the summer in the mountains of Eastern Oregon and the winters in Sunny,
California. This traveling allows the cattle to always remain on native green pastures. Our cows are bred to high quality bulls selected for their genetic potential to produce tender beef calves. The breeding season occurs while the cows are on green pastures in
Lakeview
,
Oregon
. In December the cows travel to the foothills of central
California
and begin calving in February and March while the grass is green. Green pastures arrive in
Eastern Oregon
around May, and the cows and calves return. Several weeks after returning, the calves are immunized to prevent basic diseases and branded to show ownership and discourage theft.
All the cattle move to high mountain range for the summer months. The feed is strong and lush and the water is clear and running. After the summer grazing, the calves are then brought back to the home ranch where they are weaned from their mothers. Weaning is done in a low stress, fence line manner, thisallows communication through the fence.
Before the heavy winter snows come to Lakeview, the weaned calves are shipped back to the foothills of central
California
. They spend the winter at about 1500' elevation which keeps them above the fog and in the sun most of the winter.
Following the
California
grazing season they return to lush irrigated pastures in
Lakeview,
Oregon. This is where they grow and develop into healthy nutritious beef.
Our cattle are always handled in the gentlest manner possible and fed the best forages and clean water. We provide only the basic vaccinations and do not feed any grain or animal byproducts and don't provide any growth promoting compounds. They graze on forages that have not had any unnatural fertilizers. Your beef is all natural and 100% Grass Finished.
