Grass Fed Beef – J. Hutton

J. Hutton is a fourth-generation beef operation located on the southeast side of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. Joann, who started in the business at the age of six with her first calf, has been involved in raising market steers for her 4-H project for nine years and continues to maintain some of the same bloodlines in the present herd. The operation has been managed holistically for sustainability since 2000.

The cattle are raised from gestation to harvest, ensuring quality control of the product. They graze on rotational pastures, moving to mature, new pastures every 4 to 10 days, and are fed hay during the winter months. The cattle, primarily Horned Herefords with some Shorthorn and Angus crosses, are treated with respect and love. Joann keeps only her own heifers for replacements and buys only the bull, ensuring the cattle have never been fed grains, given hormones, growth-promoting additives, pesticides, antibiotics, or any other drugs. The farm is Animal Welfare Approved.

The farm's commitment to holistic management and animal welfare ensures a high-quality product for consumers.
