About the Farm

Background

Three families with pioneer roots own and manage the ranch, which spans over 130,000 acres of deeded and leased national forest and BLM lands in and around Silvies Valley, located in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon.

Practices

The ranch maintains a minimum of 100 acres per head of cattle, raising a heritage line of Red Angus and Hereford cattle without antibiotics or hormones, and feeding them solely native meadow and Silvies Valley hay. The cattle are bred and raised in riparian meadows and taken to market at a yearling age of 12–16 months, producing smaller, tender cuts. The diet includes 12 varieties of naturally irrigated grasses, seven species of clover, and over 100 varieties of wildflowers, resulting in lean meat with a higher proportion of good fats and proteins.

The Rest

The ranch is Food Alliance certified and partners with Nicky USA, Inc. in Portland, Oregon for processing and distribution. Fresh beef is available from April through December, with frozen options provided the remainder of the year. All cuts are vacuum packed or available in full quarters cut to specifications, and can be picked up or shipped directly.
