Sustainable and Humane Farming Practices
At Black River Cattle Company we realize that many consumers are concerned how and where their food is raised and processed, as well as the stewardship to the land and environment by the producers. While we never compromise on raising a high quality product for you, we are also primarily dedicated to respecting and caring for the land and the wildlife, as well as our cattle. Black River Cattle Company is enabling our family beef operation to pursue our passion to nurture our land and cattle and to help us sustain the way of life we value.

- They are raised using humane, sustainable farming methods.
- Sustainable grazing practices help prevent erosion and groundwater contamination.
Delicious, Tender Beef
Our beef has become known for its high quality eating experience: flavorful, tender, and lean. In keeping with the integral component of TENDER meat, our animals are young (14-18 months) and between 1000-1400 lbs. Black River Cattle Company's beef has been earning growing acclaim due to its savory, "beefier" taste, and its tender and juicy qualities when prepared properly. The quality of the meat can also be attributed to the marbling process we focus on. Marbling is white flecks of fat within the meat muscle. The greater amount of marbling in beef, the higher the grade because marbling makes beef more tender, flavorful, and juicy.
