Braunvieh may be the oldest pure breed on Earth, with records dating back to 800 B.C. Our beef comes from direct descendants of quite possibly the oldest cattle breed on Earth. This old dual-purpose breed originated in Switzerland and is known for producing quality meat and milk in the high altitudes of the Swiss Alps on modest inputs.
What does "responsibly-raised" mean?
We raise our cattle with the same care and attention that we would want anyone else to take with the food that would be served at our family dinner table. We take precautions to keep their environment as low-stress as possible so they can preform both in the ring and on the table.
Do you use antibiotics or hormones?
We never use "growth hormones" in our cattle, while antibiotics are used only for life-saving measures in our herd.
