Cows did not evolve to live for extensive periods digesting seed grain. Grain requires a completely different set of enzymes for digestion and a completely different digestive process to unlock the nutrients contained inside the grain. Long periods on grain-feed can destroy rumen function. That is why we only have grass-fed beef for our San Diego based meat delivery service.

High density grazing stimulates perennial native grass seed and distributes dung and urine evenly across the ranch. After grazing, most of the plant material has been removed and the excess trampled into the ground. We are always transitioning our pastures to more and more perennial grasses by allowing proper recovery times.

The grass-fed beef (from Perennial Pastures near San Diego) that our customers receive via our meat delivery service is free from pesticides or herbicide sprays. Both pesticides and herbicides have been shown to kill soil life. We also don't use any deworming agents in our cattle. De-wormers kill the dung beetle, which can bury manure 4 feet into the ground, helping us cycle nutrients and carbon into the soil.
