Small Beef Box from Bauer Ranch, grass-fed, grain-finished

About 25 lbs. of steaks, roasting and braising cuts and ground beef.

These grass-fed, grain-finished cattle spend the winter grazing mountain pastures andare rounded up on horseback every spring. The spring and summer months, the cattle graze lush pastures in Round Valley. In the fall, the animals are fed a small amount of barley, corn and molasses to give them that little bit of protein and fat they need as the weather turns cold. The cattle are fed free-choice, from a feed bin in the pasture- no feedlots, no confinement and of course, we never feed antibiotics or hormones.

Bauer Ranch is a fifth generation ranch in Covelo, CA. William "Sparky" Bauer and his wife Debi raise cattle, heritage pigs, heritage turkeys, goats and sheep. Sparky is a Native American/German rancher, and still winters his cattle on tribal grazing lands in the mountains surrounding Covelo.

All four-legged animals are slaughtered at local USDA-inspected processing facilities.
