Animals that become Meadow Maid Foods grassfed beef are born, raised, and finished on pasture, and are never fed grains, nor treated with growth promoting hormones, steroids, or pesticides. Pastures are maintained by sustainable agriculture methods - no herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used. Grassfed beef is processed at a small, custom USDA-inspected facility in Kersey, CO and is dry-aged for tenderness.
Please note: Usually, our beef animals are never treated with antibiotics, or if they are, they are removed from our Meadow Maid Foods program. However, due to an outbreak of dust pneumonia in October, 2024, all Meadow Maid Foods beef animals to be harvested in 2026 were treated with antibiotics in October, 2024.
