At Prairie Springs Ranch, we raise beef
the old-fashioned way. Our animals are born here, nurse on their mothers
for 6-9 months, are then weaned to a diet of pasture grass and hay that
we grow here. We don’t use pesticides on our pastures. We don’t use any
growth stimulating hormones, and our animals are not pumped full of
antibiotics to keep them healthy. We do not butcher sick animals nor are
our animals exposed to other animals that may have diseases.
Every fall the healthy grass-fed animals are processed
to bring to your table. The beef is instantly frozen to maintain freshness
and shelf-life.
We try to keep the prices of our natural beef comparable to that of grocery
stores for regular beef, while providing a superior product the simple, old
fashioned way.
Grass-fed beef is usually leaner than grain-fed beef. Our first batch of ground
beef was tested to contain 5% fat, a level seemingly unobtainable in grocery
stores. We like to add a bit of olive oil when we are cooking to keep it from
sticking to the pan!

One of the most pleasant benefits of grass-fed beef is flavor!! Grass-fed beef
tastes sweet and smells rich while cooking.
