Welcome to the Ranch!

First of all, I want to thank the people who send me information or let me know about articles in other publications pertaining to grass fed beef.  I cannot possibly know each time a television show, news report, or printed publication does a story on grass fed beef; therefore, I am sincerely appreciative of the help.

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article by Peter King entitled, “Ordering Up Beef that Roamed the Range.”  Mr. King wanted to find out if grass fed beef was really tastier than traditionally raised beef.  First, he explains what grass fed beef is.  Then he gives an interesting statistic.  He writes that “3 % of  beef sold in the U. S. is from grass fed cattle. ”

He looks online for mail-order grass fed beef.  Cross Creek Cattle Company is not one of the ranches.  We do not sell our beef this way yet.  Mr. King finds and orders from five different ranches.  He purchases comparable cuts of steak from each ranch .  Then he rounds up a group of people to be his taste testers.

He gives a very fair and honest critique of each ranch.  From the ease in which you order online to the taste of the steak, he was interested in the whole grass fed beef experience.  The taste of course was what prompted the entire article.

I believe that Mr. King and his taste tasters were pleasantly surprised at the quality and flavor of the grass fed steaks.  He writes, ” our tasters agreed that all the grass-fed beef tasted fresher and less greasy than supermarket beef.”

He is absolutely correct.  You can tell a difference between traditionally raised beef and grass fed beef.  At the end of the article, he inserts a chart with a row for each of the five ranches from which he bought.  You will notice the price per steak and the shipping charges.

As I stated earlier, Cross Creek Cattle Company does not sell by the cut nor does it ship our meat yet.  However, we are working to accomplish that goal.  We sell 1/4, 1/2, or whole orders for $3.50 a pound based on the hanging carcass weight.  You get the most bang for your buck this way.

I am excited anytime grass fed beef is the topic of conversation in the public arena.  It just means that interest and awareness is growing about the alternative to grain fed cattle on a national scale.  To read more about our grass fed beef and its health benefits, click here.
