Grass Fed and Grass Finished

Our Protocol

Our Protocol For Purchasing Cattle from Ranchers and Producers of Certified Organic and Grass fed Cattle:

  • 100% ORGANIC GRASS FED CATTLE.
  • Cattle from ranches certified by a USDA approved certifier.
  • EROB will inspect all facilities monthly to insure they meet our requirements.
  • Our cattle will live 100% of their lives on organic certified pastures that are free of chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers.
  • Any feeds, other than natural grass, will meet the same standards.
  • Detailed records of each animal are maintained and available from birth through processing and distribution. Data on each box will trace the contents back to the animal.
  • Cattle are finished on pastures in the Eel River Valley of California, the Chico area (Liano Seco Rancho) of the central valley or other approved pastures to insure year round quality and availability.
  • All pastures, grass, alfalfa or mineral supplements must be USDA certified organic and approved by EROB.
  • Cattle will be harvested between 16-24 months of age at 950 to 1150 lbs.
  • Cattle are mostly Angus.
  • Most EROB cattle will have a minimum 55% yield.
  • Harvesting will be done in USDA Certified Organic Plants. Our current plant is Redwood Meats in Eureka.
  • Cutout statistics will be made available to our customers when they want them.
