Welcome to Fields Grassfed Beef! OUR FAMILY RANCH! Fields Grassfed Beef has been a family-run ranch in Prairie City, Oregon since 1974. Our certified grass-fed cattle are raised on natural grass meadows. Our ranch’s lush native meadows and cattle are blessed to have fresh, cold, and clean snow meltwater out of the headwaters of the John Day River. The John Day River starts in the beautiful Strawberry Mountains. We consider our grass-fed beef the most energy-efficient, socially acceptable, healthy, quality beef produced. Our beef is a tender, tasty quality product, which is fed only grass and grass hay along with salt and mineral. Our beef is certified Grassfed with the American Grassfed Association. The health benefits of our product exceed that of other beef. It is high in protein and has less fat (lipids) than skinless chicken breast. SAVORING FLAVOR & VERY TENDER! The palatability of our product is excellent and satisfying! It is dry-aged for 10 to 12 days and is genetically tender due in part to the Piedmontese breed of cattle! We can maintain carcass quality to over 700 pounds hanging weight. In order to maintain tenderness, other grass-fed beef producers must butcher at a far less weight resulting in smaller cuts of meat. PIEDMONTESE CATTLE! Fields Grassfed Beef comes from a Piedmontese and Hereford crossbreed. Piedmontese cattle are native to the alpine area of northern Italy. They are genetically more tender with less fat than other breeds of cattle. These characteristics come from the unique Myostatin gene. Full-blood Piedmontese carry two copies of this gene. Offspring produced from one full-blood parent always carry at least one copy of the gene which is mandatory for our high-quality grass-fed beef. WHAT SETS US APART! 1) Diet — Animals are fed only grass and forage from weaning until harvest. 2) Confinement — Animals are raised in the pasture without confinement to feedlots. 3) Antibiotics and hormones — Animals are never treated with antibiotics or growth hormones. 4) Origin — All our animals are born and raised on our family ranch.
