Things you should know about our cows:
Our cows live in cow paradise. Mild California winters and irrigated summer pastures mean that they graze on fresh grass year round. No snow drifts or truckloads of hay for these girls, thank you. They don't do drugs, either -- we don't give hormones or antibiotics to Striking A Livestock beef. We do provide salt and mineral supplements, and extra protein if the winter is hard (plant based protein -- no animal by-products) and we will happily supply you with a "list of ingredients" if you are interested. We are currently working on a certification through American Grassfed Association and will be keeping you updated as that progresses.
A grass based diet makes healthy cows, which in turn make healthy beef. Grass fed beef is lower in fat and higher in omega-3 oils and vitamin E than its grain fed counterpart.Our cows aren't only health conscious, they watch their carbon hoof prints and well. Because their food is not harvested or hauled, they are able to keep their fossil fuel use very low. They also keep their commuting to a minimum -- instead of gallivanting across the continent from producer to feedlot to processor, they stay on the ranch right up to the short trip to the abattoir.
We offer beef once a year in the late spring to coincide with the growing season of the native grasses that we finish our animals on. Because this is an annual event, we offer packages of freezer beef that will keep throughout the year without compromising quality.
Keeping cattle on pasture not only benefits the animal and the consumer, but the environment as well. To learn more, take a look at these resources:

Delivery Options
You can pick your beef up at the processor's free of charge. Otherwise we will deliver to a central location in your area for $25. Home delivery is $95. We do not currently offer shipping; we try to keep our products local to cut down on transport. If you are interested in grass fed beef and cannot find it in your area, please let us know and we will try to help.
Payment
We require a first deposit to hold your order, due on placement of order, and a second deposit due upon harvest on the animal. We use a base price to calculate these and ask for the balance and delivery fees when you receive your beef. This breaks the cost up a bit for you, and allows us to charge a per pound cost (so you're not paying for anything you don't get) without dealing with high balances due on delivery. We will soon be able to take payments online via paypal. Until then please contact us for options.
