The Brooks Family
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Today I thought I would let you hear from one of our customers. They are Jason and Bobbi Brooks from College Station. They ordered a quarter of grass fed beef from us.
Before ordering from Cross Creek Cattle Company, they had never eaten grass fed beef before. They found our website by a link on the website, Mark’s Daily Apple: Primal Living in the Modern World. And, they are happy with their purchase.
They really like grass fed beef, especially the t-bones. This cut is their favorite. The Brooks family said, they “love the flavor and tenderness” of our beef. The only criticism the family had was that our roasts were too small; however, the “Pike’s Peak Roast was perfect.”
This is the nature of raising grass fed beef. We cannot guarantee the size of the cuts nor the amount of beef you will receive, which is why we sell the beef at $3.50 a pound instead of a base price. Each animal is built a little differently from another, just like people. We cannot make uniform and identical sides of beef.
It is one way to know that we are raising beef the natural way. We do not feed our cattle grain to make them gain weight rapidly. We do not give them growth hormones in order to achieve a certain size. Instead we do things differently from traditionally raised beef. We give the herd fresh, green grass and plenty of fresh water. We give them pastures in which to roam. In turn, our cattle produce lean, flavorful beef.
The Brooks family said they would definitely order grass fed beef from us again. They only thing they would do differently is “order more.”
We could not be more thrilled with this feedback from one of our beef customers. Thank you, Brooks family! We look forward to doing more business with you.
