Cameron
Ranch is located in central Wyoming where we raise cattle,
sheep and hay. We are a small operation (owner operated, 200 mother
cows, 50 ewes) and strive to raise our livestock as healthy as possible.
Summers are spent on mountain pastures, and winter on the base ranch,
where hay is supplemented when necessary. Our animals are confined
as little as possible and are corralled only for routine maintenance
and shipping. Our desire is to establish a closer contact with consumers,
and offer a product which is superior to what is offered in conventional
markets.
Beef and lamb are offered as whole
carcasses, halves or quarters and processed under state inspection. Meat
may be purchased at the ranch or on our website. Ranch stays are
also available for those seeking first hand ranch experiences.

Meadow Maid Foods, LLC grass-fed
beef is produced for the heart, from the heart.
Our beeves are raised from birth to processing on
a single ranch is southeastern Wyoming, with respect for the cattle,
and in harmony with nature. Cattle graze on native and irrigated pastures
year-round, without feed supplements. (Rarely, we supplement with hay
during a severe winter storm.) Many people are surprised to learn that
cattle can graze year-round in Wyoming, until we point out that the deer
and antelope have done so for millennia.
Pastures and animals are free from pesticides, herbicides,
added growth hormones, and antibiotic applications. Stress is minimized
by calving in sync with nature, and animal-handling facilities are based
on a low-stress Temple Grandin design. Beef is processed at an owner-operated,
custom, USDA-inspected facility, aged for tenderness, and vacuum-packaged
to maintain quality.
Quality grass-fed beef is available year-round,
directly from Meadow Maid Foods, and at the Food Co-op, 205 E Mountain
Avenue, Fort Collins, CO. We hope to offer mail-order beef by Summer
2004.

Touchstone Angus offers grass
finished beef raised entirely on our ranch near Lusk,
Wyoming. We have worked many years to identify angus
cattle that are inherently capable of consistently producing
tender beef within a grass/forage only diet. This hard
to find genetic tenderness combined with the special
quality of the native grass diet available on the open ranges of
Wyoming sets Touchstone grass finished beef apart in taste.
Our beef is not certified as organic due to the
time and money necessary for the process. Nonetheless, the beef has no
added hormones and no antibiotics are fed. The cattle are raised on native
pastures that are not sprayed with herbicides or farmed.
Touchstone beef is sold in whole, halves and quarters
(half of a half). The beef is processed at a USDA inspected
plant in Elizabeth Colorado where it can be picked up frozen or
stored in a locker at Elizabeth, Colorado. We can ship beef as well
if you live outside the Denver area and are unable to pick it up.

Twin Creek Ranch Beef—Grown
to enhance the health of the people who enjoy it and the
land that creates it.
At Twin Creek Ranch, we thoughtfully manage our cattle
to restore riparian habitat—making a home for beaver, migrating
song birds, and moose. On the uplands, antelope, elk, and sage grouse
are are flourishing because we carefully plan when and how long our cattle
utilize the forage. By growing our cattle at nature's pace, we produce
not only great tasting beef, but also contribute to restoring wildness
to Wyoming's sagebrush steppe.
We have a vision of thriving family ranches: The
soil and water are cared for and the needs of the animals—clean
water, fresh air, the chance to grow up naturally—are a priority.
Complimenting these ranches are flourishing communities of people who
want the best possible food. In the spirit of our vision, we want to
give you the opportunity to enjoy all the cuts of beef, slowly dry aged
and locally hand cut with care.
Twin Creek Ranch Beyond Organic Beef is only
sold directly to people in Wyoming. Luckily we have a wonderful lodge for
you to stay on at the ranch so that you may experience this extraordinary
place and the beef it creates. To start your plans, visit us at our website.
