I get asked a lot why we don’t sell beef year-round, and the answer is simple: we’re a true pasture-finished operation, and we live in Eastern Washington.
Our animals are finished on pasture, not hay or grain. That means their growth follows the natural seasons. During the spring and summer, when grass is abundant, they gain efficiently. During the winter months, growth slows, just as nature intended.
Because we only harvest animals when they’re truly finished and ready, our supply is seasonal rather than constant. We’d rather have periods of being sold out than compromise our commitment to producing 100% pasture-finished beefalo.
One thing consumers should understand is that “grass-finished” and “pasture-finished” are not always the same thing. If you live in Eastern Washington and are buying a “grass-finished” animal that was processed in February, there’s no way it was finished on fresh pasture. That doesn’t make it a bad product. It simply means the animal was likely finished on stored forages such as hay or silage. Around here, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a blade of green grass growing in February!
There’s nothing wrong with finishing cattle on quality hay. It’s just different from finishing them on actively growing pasture, and we think it’s important for consumers to understand that distinction.
Thank you for supporting local agriculture and understanding that good things don’t always happen on a supermarket schedule. 🌱🐂❤️
