Rose (our rabbit) is babysitting Trixie (who is recovering from a nasty neck laceration) and her buddy Chloe today.

With all the conversation lately about where our beef comes from, we think knowing what’s behind your beef matters too. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 & 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝘆𝘂, and we’re incredibly intentional about the genetics we bring into each generation

It’s easy to look at a beautifully marbled steak and think that’s where the story starts. But some of the most important decisions behind great beef are made years before that steak ever hits the grill.

Which cows do we breed? Which bulls complement them? What traits do we want to carry into the next generation?

Marbling is obviously high on our list; we are raising Wagyu after all. But we’re also looking at growth, structure, maternal traits, temperament & the overall quality of the animal.

& while every cow on our farm carries genetics that trace back to the original Japanese Wagyu bloodlines, our cattle are as American as they come. 🇺🇸

What can I say? We love some good genetics.

The recall wasn’t about illness. The beef was imported from Argentina and missed a required USDA import reinspection.

But did you realize just how much beef in America is actually imported? And until very recent, even “𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙐𝙎𝘼” labeling didn’t necessarily mean the animal was raised here.

Which begs the question…

At T&K, we can tell you where your food was raised, how it was raised, what it ate, and where it was processed. Because we were there for all of it.

There’s a lot of distance between a pasture and a plate these days.

We just prefer ours to be a little shorter. 🤎

From Good Shepherd Farm & Flock :

Ahh… the Tromboncino Squash. Pronounced Trom-bon-CHEE-no. Our garden is as much a star of the show as our cattle on our farm. The garden produces many fresh vegetables & fruits and is a place for the kids to learn & continue being a part of growing and raising their own food.

The Tromboncino Squash stands out simply because of its size & is a head scratcher to many. It’s as awe-mazing on the vine as it is on the plate. It’s incredibly productive, delicious, and one of those vegetables we continue to plant because it’s never let us down.

We originally added tromboncino to the garden because we wanted to grow something a little different than what you’d typically find at the grocery store & it quickly became one of our favorites.

If you’ve never tried one, don’t let the size fool you. It cooks just like zucchini when harvested young; when it’s left to mature, it’s great for baking and soups too.

This garden gives our family a place work together long before gathering around a dinner table. It’s amazing how a simple garden can grow so much more than vegetables.

Any day is a good day when you have your ducks in a row!

It’s been my goal to see how many vegetables I can throw into one meal. So here’s my Summer Steak Bowl.

Lincoln helped pick the peppers from the Good Shepherd garden to bring a little spice to our peachy corn salsa. And the secret sauce??? Jalapeño ranch made fresh by Honeysuckle Hideaway.

& listen… I’m not always perfect. But when I am, I make a whole meal without going to the grocery store. This is an example of my perfection 😉
