What are your animal welfare practices?Updated 2 months ago

Our logo says Humanely Raised.

“Humanely Raised” is different from “Humanely Slaughtered.”

Our cattle are Humanely Raised out on pastures.

We provide food, water, shelter/protection against elements (more for Montana & Texas where animals can get very hot or cold and need shade and shelter.)

We employ Temple Grandin’s low stress management practices during transportation and slaughter of animals. Temple Grandin works with feedlots & slaughterhouses and pioneered low-stress techniques.            

● Low-Stress Management Techniques:                    

• Vocalization standard as indicator of stress. (An animal making noise if stressed.)                                
• Animals are moving on their own. No abuse/physical means to move the animals.                         

Humane stunning methods - Bolt to their head, stunning the animal, not killing it (so the animal is brain dead). The animal is killed once they bleed it out. Animal is rendered senseless before killing so the animal doesn’t carry stress when bleeding out.
