Aravaipa's
Painted Cave Cattle Company - 100% Grass Fed, Local Beef Our operation is based at Painted Cave Ranch,
located only 70 miles northeast of Tucson and bordered by the beautiful
Aravaipa Canyon and the San Carlos Apache Reservation. The ranch is
managed by the Hill family who have been in Arizona since the 1800s
and have always valued holistic and environmentally friendly practices.
When asked why we have never used pesticides, herbicides,
steroids or hormones, our answer is quite simple. Our forefathers never
needed to use them, so why should we? This principle of knowing the
land and recognizing what the land needs, allows our practice of providing
sustainable healthy beef from nurtured and healthy land.
Our goal is to maintain and improve the native
species composition, diversity and structure for the desired plant
communities needed to protect the land and to maintain the long-term
health and varieties of the indigenous wildlife populations. Diverse
wildlife include Desert Big Horn Sheep, Coatimundi, Javelina, Black
Bear, Mule Deer and White Tail Deer, Lowland Leopard Frogs, Sonoran
Desert Tortoise, Mountain Lion and, of course, Coyote.
Everything we do must meet this test: Does this
action support the ecosystem with sustainable results?
Our ranch covers almost 30 square miles and contains
five unique biomes. As stewards of this resource, we are committed
to preserving its complete biological diversity.

Arrow T Cattle Company is the home of Kelly Beef®, a family owned and operated grass-fed beef operation which raises 100% natural, free range, grass-fed beef.
Tom and Tamra Kelly own and operate two cattle ranches in Arizona. The La Cienega Ranch is a cow-calf operation spanning over 250,000 acres of private and public lands. The ranch varies in elevation from 7,200 feet in the Hualapai Mountains to 3,200 feet in the vast expanse of the Mohave Desert. The diverse ranch habitat provides an excellent source of grass and browse species to raise healthy, natural beef year-long. Importantly, the environment is free from contaminants or pollutants of any type. No herbicides or pesticides exist on the open range of the La Cienega Ranch.
Once weaned from the mother cows on the La Cienega Ranch, the young calves are brought to the Arrow-T Ranch to graze on the sea of grass fed by shallow artesian wells and sub-irrigated pastures. The Arrow T Cattle Ranch is 1100 acres of lush grassland in Central Arizona at an elevation of 4500 feet. No chemicals, herbicides or pesticides have been placed on the grass lands of the Arrow T Cattle Company. The calves spend the next 9-12 months on the grasslands until they reach processing weight. Low stress handling of our cattle is a requirement and the health of our cows is the top priority.
As members of large immediate families and the parents of six children, Tom and Tamra Kelly emphasize working their cattle with family members. Our beef is inspected by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, dry aged for two weeks then processed by Perkin’s Meats of Chino Valley. Our organic practices and careful handling of our beef ensure the 100% grass fed, free range, beef is provided as a healthy alternative for your family.
Our beef is also sold locally on Whiskey Row in downtown Prescott, Arizona at The Rancher’s Wife every day of the week. Delivery is available.

Chiracahua Pasture Raised Meats. Anya Owens at A
Bar H Farm has retired from production. Josh
Koehn, her partner of several years, is now owner of the grass fed
meat company. Josh is raising all the livestock on his farm in
Kansas Settlement, Arizona, while Anya continues in customer service,
handling orders, packing and delivering. The name has changed, but our products
have not. They remain beef, lamb, whole roasting chickens,
eggs and holiday turkeys.
Whole and half beeves and lambs are available as well as single beef and lamb
cuts.
Josh and I have been like-minded producers
who are passionate about offering the best natural product we can.
It remains Josh’s
intent to raise tender, tasty and healthy meat and eggs. He
raises cattle and sheep as ruminants were meant to be raised, without
corn, grain distillery products or hormones and antibiotics. Our
beef and lamb are on green pastures all of their lives. The cattle
and sheep are supplemented as needed with hay that is raised and stockpiled
on Josh's farm.
The poultry roam freely on irrigated pastures
and are provided shade, water, dry feed and protection. Josh makes
his own chicken feed that combines with the grasses to provide a well-balanced
ration. By making his own feed, he is assured that it is free
of additives, genetically modified products and animal by-products.
Our products are directly marketed to individuals,
buying groups, Consumer
Supported Agriculture (CSA) groups and farmer market vendors in Sierra
Vista, Bisbee, Phoenix and Tucson. Our direct marketing routes for
Phoenix and Tucson are on our web site.
Josh welcomes visitors to his farm.
We feel consumers benefit from knowing how their food is raised and who
raises it.

Milky Ranch is a family-oriented operation, combining old and new practices in
the livestock business to create a responsible, profitable, environmentally
friendly and sustainable business while trying to preserve the family
farm and ranching way of life.
Our beef comes from our Angus/Hereford cross
herd that grazes the 90 square miles of open range known as the Milky
Ranch. These cattle are born and raised on our ranch, and spend the duration
of their lives grazing in a stress-free and natural environment.
We
believe that the seasonal abundances of native grasses and browse, including
blue grama, black grama, sacaton, needle and thread, rice grass, gaeta,
chamisa and white sage provide an ideal slow growing nutritional base
to produce quality grassfed beef. No growth supplements, steroids,hormones
or antibiotics are used. We are not certified organic, however are practices
would qualify our product as such.
When ready to be harvested, our animals are
locally processed at a facility that uses humane slaughtering procedures
and is inspected by the Arizona Department of Agriculture. All beef is
dry-aged for seven days, then packaged and hard-frozen. Our packaged
beef is free of antibiotics and hormones, raised in the most natural
way possible. We offer individual cuts as well as whole, half and quarters
of beef. We deliver to
the Show Low / Pinetop area.

San Rafael Valley Natural Beef
100% Grass-Fed is Naturally 100% Organic.
Angus-Hereford cattle are raised in one of the last
intact short-grass prairies in the Western US. Towering cottonwoods and
riverbeds meander through the high Sonoran grasslands that gently roll
across the valley floor. These cattle eat native Arizona grasses
and drink pure water drawn up by windmill from the Coronado Forest Aquifer
and watershed that become the headwaters of the Santa Cruz River. At
5000 feet, the ranch is in the heart of the valley, arguably the most
beautiful cattle country in Arizona.
All orders are customized, no minimums and customer
selections are based on availability. Animals are harvested regularly
to keep all orders fresh. Meat is dry aged for 21 days. All cutting,
packaging and deliveries are overseen by the owner to maintain the highest
standards possible.
These animals never see a feed-lot, never get
hormones or antibiotics. Customers are encouraged to visit the
ranch with family and friends.
You are welcome to visit www.srvbeef.com but
all orders are done directly by phone or email.
