COURSE OVERVIEW RANCHING High-quality beef begins at the ranch. Selecting the best cattle, treating them with care and respect, providing a healthy diet and caring for the environment are critical to raising the highest quality beef. CATTLE FEEDING The cattle continue to be cared for in the low-stress environment of the feed yard. They are fed a balanced diet formulated for the health of the cattle and the quality of the beef. BEEF PROCESSING AND GRADING We take great responsibility to ensure the humane treatment of cattle through final processing. Multiple food safety steps and a sophisticated grading system prepare the carcass for fabrication. BEEF FABRICATION AND DISTRIBUTION Follow the beef carcass onto the fabrication floor where it is broken down into primals and subprimals by trained butchers who take great care to ensure it is done to the highest standard for packaging and distribution.
