We never inject our cattle with growth hormones. Antibiotics are only used if an animal is sick and in need of treatment. We strictly follow all withdrawal timelines to ensure no antibiotics are present at the time of processing, prioritizing both animal welfare and food safety.

We are committed to producing high-quality beef in an environmentally responsible and humane manner. Our cattle are pasture-raised from birth and enjoy a natural diet of grass, hay, and spent barley grain from Silver City Brewery. During the winter months, when grass isn't growing, we supplement their diet with hay or bean straw. While our beef is not 100% grass-fed, this balanced feed program allows us to achieve the best of both grass-fed and grain-fed systems, ensuring healthy, flavorful beef with excellent marbling and fat cover.

HCW stands for Hot Carcass Weight and is an important factor in determining how much meat you will receive from an animal. The yield is calculated based on the HCW, and typically, you can expect that only a percentage of the HCW will be turned into edible cuts (usually around 60-70%, depending on the animal and processing method).
