We run a small operation raising Longhorn and Longhorn cross cattle. Our cattle are raised naturally on pasture, the way nature intended, and are not confined. We use no hormones, implants, antibiotics or grains. Longhorns are proven to have less cholesterol than other cattle and are a healthier meat product. We chose Longhorns because to us they are the cattle closest to nature. They originally survived on their own for centuries without man’s interference; survival of the fittest. As a result they are smarter, tougher and sounder than other cattle. We love the colors and their great disposition. They are fun friendly cattle.

Food Co-operative:
Our pricing is a low as we can get it and insure that your meat is Federally USDA inspected and that each cut is vacuum packed to insure no freezer burn will occur while you store your meat for future use. If your co-op orders more than three shares and you are not within our delivery area, (Black Hills SD), we can use multiple item shipping through FedEx and offer a discount on shipping to your area. Shipping will be calculated by zip code. We use special shipping coolers to insure freshness. for shares going outside our delivery area.
There are eleven shares to a cow. And we try to have a cow going to processing each month. Please contact us for availability of shares on upcoming cows.

Our Standard for Natural Grass Fed Beef
Grass is an edible herbaceous plant material not containing cereal grain, grain by-products or concentrate that can be grazed or harvested for feeding. This applies to livestock whose sole energy/feed source throughout their life span is derived from grass (annual and perennial), forbs (legumes, brassicas), browse, forage, or stockpiled forages all not containing cereal grain or concentrate. Hay, haylage, baleage, silage and ensilage (all not containing cereal grain or concentrate). Consumption of non-cereal grain seeds in herbage, forage and browse is acceptable. Additionally mineral and vitamin supplementation is permissible. There is no dry lot confinement.
