TYPICAL COMMERCIAL BEEF OPERATION
There's and old saying..... "You are what you eat!" This is not only an old saying, it's a true statement. Everybody knows that grocery store beef is produced in such a way as to minimize cost and maximize profit.
Commercial beef is produced as quickly as possible, using a variety of methods and chemical hormones to encourage fast growth. Cattle are crowded into pens and given a diet consisting mostly of corn and silage but also containing chicken feathers, chicken manure, and "animal protein" to fatten them up quickly. This diet slowly destroys their rumen (stomach) and makes it neccessary to add 2 lbs of antibotics to their daily ration to keep them alive long enough to get to the slaughterhouse.
There, the beef is processed in such a way that it's not uncommon these days to hear that thousands of pounds of beef are recalled due to some form of contamination from unsanitary conditions.
At R&R Highlands we take a different approach. We take time to grow our cattle on the diet nature intended. Grass. While this approach does take longer, most people say the result is worth the wait.
We treat our cattle with respect and never expose our beef animals to drugs or hormones. All our cattle live out their lives in a peaceful stress-free environment where they are given the utmost respect and the best care possible.
Most of our cattle are hand-gentle and are worked with on a near daily basis. We feel this makes a difference when it comes to providing a quality cut of beef.
To learn more about beef processing, check out the "Beef Processing" page.
If you are ready to reserve your quarter, half, or whole beef please call or email us to get on our customer list. We are taking orders now for beef that will be ready to butcher in the Fall of 2016.
Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you.
