Humboldt Grassfed Beef

HUMBOLDT GRASSFED BEEF

Humboldt Grassfed Beef produces cattle on the Northcoast of California. The long feed growing season of this area provides us with the unique opportunity to raise high quality grassfed beef and supply retail markets with a fresh product on a year round basis.

Our cattle are allowed free range on fertile pastures rich with naturally growing legumes and grasses. We raise them using a strict quality assurance program without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or other feed additives commonly used in the commercial cattle feeding industry.

Raising market ready grassfed beef requires a higher plain of nutrition and necessitates a reduction in herd size. By decreasing herd size we are able to better manage the health and increase the natural performance of our cattle while protecting the surrounding watershed and other natural resources.

Don't Be Confused By Organic
All of our cattle are raised free range and are never confined. Many organic cattle are "finished" in confined feeding operations and fed grain, instead of the natural growing grass cattle are designed to eat. Feeding animals primarily grain, organically grown or not, can compromise the health of the animal as well as reduce the health benefits of the beef.

The Goals of Humboldt Grassfed Beef

To offer only the healthiest natural beef possible.
To provide beef with the best flavor and tenderness through strict herd selection.
To gain and maintain your confidence in the integrity of our beef.
To be sensitive and respectful of our natural resources.

Our Practices
HGB sells carcass beef to retail outlets. In this way, we believe we are helping the meat dept become a truly full-scale meat market. Carcasses are dry aged 14-21 days. Skilled butchers break each carcass in-house instead of being mechanically deboned at the large industrial slaughterhouses. Ground beef comes from a single source and is ground daily thus insuring food safety and freshness. Our meat markets can be confident that HGB is safe and wholesome. We are in complete control of each individual animal and maintain the highest standards our customers have come to expect and trust.
