Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
Our animals are raised from birth on our farms. We know exactly what they eat from birth. They are never given antibiotics or artificial growth stimulants. No animal by-products are fed to our animals. Our animals are not grown in confinement buildings. They are raised on grass and in open lots and grain finished on non-GMO corn, soybeans, oats and alfalfa. Our animals are taken directly from our farms to a family owned, USDA inspected processing plant. Our animals are processed before any others ensuring natural wholesomeness. We use small family owned USDA inspected processing facilities to process our animals.

Additional Information
9 Steps to Perfection 1. Naturally raised. Without the use of growth stimulants or antibiotics. Ever. 2.GMO Free Our animals are raised on non GMO planted corn, soybeans,oats, and alfalfa. 3. Flavor & Tenderness. Years of experience. We know how to obtain superior marbling, flavor and tenderness. 4. Hand selection. We hand pick animals from our herds to ensure the highest quality possible. 5. Source verification. When you buy from us you know exactly where your meat is coming from. 6. Hand trimmed. All of our cuts are hand trimmed leaving just enough fat for a delicious flavor. 7. USDA Inspected for quality. Our meats are USDA processed at a small processing plant close to home. 8. Commitment to quality. We believe that the way animals are raised, cared for and fed as well as processed are all needed for quality and healthy meats. 9.Sharp frozen. To lock in freshness. You'll enjoy superior flavor, tenderness and juiciness every time.

Highlights this Month
We are happy to be part of a new cooperative, a community of people, farmers and consumers(of which we all are).A community who are concerned enough about where our food comes from and want to know how it is raised that we are willing to take major steps in working together to allow all people a chance to grow food and sell it or buy good food and eat it no matter how small there harvest or needs may be. Thank you Nebraska Food Cooperative.
