10 Reasons to Buy Your Natural Beef from Moon Creek Ranch

  

Tender and Tasty.  It's no accident that our beef is tender and tasty.  Our calves come from cows and bulls with superior carcass genetics.  After grazing on grass and crop residue, they are finished on homegrown and locally grown hay and corn fortified with additional vitamins D and E, then harvested at a young age before they are over fat.  The younger the animal, the more tender the meat.  Age is one reason grass fed beef and bison are not as tender and tasty; most are at least 2 years old while most of ours are finished in 14 months.  No matter what anyone says, it takes corn to have good beef. 

  

  

Homegrown.  We are a trusted source truly concerned with safety and your satisfaction.  When you buy our beef, you can be assured that we raised it.  You're dealing with the people who bred the cow, fed the calf, and delivered the meat.  Most beef retailers and wholesalers don't have a clue who produced their beef. 

  

Safe.  Our beef is processed in a clean, local facility by only a very few people who are as concerned as we are with the safety of the beef that you consume.  We only use vegetable, never animal protein supplements.   We'll eat our hats if you can buy safer beef.  We guarantee it!    

  

Frozen Fresh.  Our beef is frozen immediately after cutting to lock in its flavor and freshness; that lets you keep it in the refrigerator longer after thawing.  Our beef is never re-processed which is a common practice at markets. 

  

Affordable.  You are purchasing the highest quality beef like that in high-dollar, white tablecloth restaurants at a price comparable to commodity beef sold in grocery stores.  Many times our prices are less than meat market prices.  

   

Convenient.  We can personally deliver or ship right to your door, or you can drive out to our place to get your beef. 

  

  

Vacuum Packed.   All of our retail cuts are vacuum packed.  It's more expensive but much better than shrink wrapping or paper wrapping.  Vacuum packing extends freezer life, eliminates freezer burn, seals in freshness and allows you to view both sides of the cut.    

  

USDA Inspected.  This means that there is actually a USDA inspector at the processing plant inspecting each live animal and its carcass.  The processor's facility is inspected weekly and is under strict regulations regarding their processing. 

  

Black Angus.  This cattle breed has been known for years to have the highest quality, fine grained meat with marbling (minute flecks of fat in the muscle) and less seam fat (strips of solid fat as in dairy and some beef breeds).  The Black Angus breed has the most predictable genetics in the beef industry.  

  

Healthful.   When it comes to nutrition, beef has a lot more to offer.  It contains a power pack of nutrients to fuel active bodies and is a delicious way to stay healthy.  A 3-ounce serving of beef provides 39% of the zinc, 50% of the protein and 31% of the selenium most people need in a day. (You would have to consume nearly 36 ounces of tuna to get the same amount of zinc found in 3 ounces of beef; 7, 3 oz. skinless chicken breasts to get the same B12 found in 3 ounces of beef; or 3 cups of raw spinach to get the iron in 3 ounces of beef).  It's an excellent source of niacin, riboflavin, thiamin and vitamins B6 and B12.  Lean beef is just as effective as skinless chicken when it comes to lowering blood cholesterol levels.
