We formed Brandon Natural Beef to bring to market
great tasting 100% grass fed beef which was raised in the alpine
pastures of Colorado’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Westcliffe,
Colorado. Now in our fourth season, we look forward to continuing to share this great tasting beef, to
advocating the health benefits of grass fed beef, to supporting traditional
small family ranching and to enhancing the lives of cattle.
Extraordinary flavor
Like fine wine,
100% grass fed beef captures the unique characteristics of the grasses
upon which the cattle feed. Brandon Natural Beef cattle roam in alpine
meadows their entire lives and drink from fresh mountain water. The
succulent grasses- timothy grass, blue grama, red top and clover-provide
a natural healthy diet for our cattle and result in an outstanding beef
taste.
Better for you
The unique
health attributes of eating 100% grass fed beef are compelling. It has
more protein and higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids than grain/corn
fed beef. Not only is it better for you nutritionally, it is a naturally
safer product, with greatly reduced risk of contamination versus
feedlot beef.
Traditional Ranching
Small family
ranching is an integral part of Westcliffe and the Wet Mountain Valley
area of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Our ranching partner, Elin Parker Ganschow, of Music Meadows Ranch, represents a multi-generational
commitment to ranching. Buying our beef supports small ranchers, such as
Elin.
Enhanced Animal Health and Welfare
As ruminants,
cattle are meant to eat grass. By encouraging consumption of 100% grass
fed beef, we support cattle grazing for their entire lives on pasture.
This is healthier for them and less stressful than being shipped to feed
lots. They are able to eat their natural foods their entire lives, not
endure stressful moves and crowded living conditions. With proper
grazing management by the rancher, grass fed cattle not only lead
healthy lives, but, fertilize their pastures.Their natural fertilizer
contributes to the organic health of the pasture and grasses.
At
Brandon Natural Beef, we want to increase interest in 100% grass fed
beef, enhance your enjoyment of beef, and ensure that you have the very
best quality product. Our success depends on your unconditional delight
with Brandon Natural Beef.
We look forward to sharing our beef with you.
Sincerely,
Bob and Lisa Carey
