    Beef
    Our breeding practices on our Colorado Farm include fast-growing local beef which finishes at a young age on an exclusive, grass-based diet. This provides our consumers with the increased marbling and tenderness, along with large ribeye size. Our Aberdeen Angus beef finish with increased yield by approximately 10 -15% more packaged beef per lb of hanging weight than conventional breeds. This equals greater yield, providing cost savings to the consumer. The grass-finished diet is known to provide health benefits over the grain-fed beef.
    Pork
    Our Colorado farm raised pork is fed an exclusive, non-GMO corn-based diet. This provides an opportunity for improving land and soils by the reduction in the number of sprays and chemicals not used in farming practices of non-GMO corn. Those looking for an opportunity to reduce the consumption of chemicals not passed on in our pork provides them peace of mind and enjoyment of our delicious, savory pork raised right here on our farm in Olathe, CO.
