Grass Fed Beef Direct to Customer
River Valley Ranch keeps a closed herd of registered purebred Highland cattle. The calves are born and raised to maturity right here on our farm. Our Highland beef is a cut above.
Highlands grow slower and here they are raised on a free range grass fed regime that gives you the ultimate in taste and health profile in your beef. The Highland’s double coat helps insulate and keep them warm in our Rocky Mountain winters. With their special coat they develop intramuscular tenderizing fat instead of excess back fat. What you get is a tender, well marbled and flavourful beef for your table.
Independent testing has shown that Highland beef is significantly lower in fat and cholesterol and higher in protein, iron and the good omega-3 fatty acids than commercial beef. Being Certified Organic means no antibiotics, urea proteins, lick tubs, hormones or Ractopamine are fed to our animals. Attention to detail is important to us in raising food for you. Commercial salt licks with non-organic additives are not used – the Highland’s get free choice premium Sea 90 mineral salt. The animals are out year round and forage most of the year on our own pastures (which are rich in native grasses, herbs and forbs) and in the winter the standing pasture forage is supplement with Certified Organic Hay. Our regime means the cows are not getting laden with glyphosate, adjuvants, pesticides, Grazon or other herbicides.
You (our valued customers), your family, your children and grandchildren deserve a premium quality food source that incorporates a high level of respect for animal and human health, welfare and the environment.
We sell wholes, halves, quarters or gourmet freezer boxes.
