Harold
Koehn Grass-fed Beef is located along the Texas-New Mexico
state line south of Texline, Texas. We are in the business
of raising grass-fed and fully finished (which means fully fattened) beef on
our irrigated farm which includes winter annuals, cool season grasses
and warm season grasses with legumes in the mix.
On our farm we use cattle that are of a gentle
disposition. We go to great length to keep them calm and handle
them quietly. Our cattle are hearty and content, thriving on the
best of environment, thus avoiding the use of harmful additives
like hormones and antibiotics. Neither do we use artificial pesticides
or other unnatural chemicals.
Although there are many factors that can influence
the flavor and tenderness of meat, marbling is the best indicator
of flavorful, juicy meat. Grass fed beef has a uniquely robust
flavor that brings back the memory of what beef is supposed to
taste like: rich in taste and texture. Some people may have to
learn to appreciate the difference from grain-fed to grass-fed
beef. That shouldn't be difficult when you know it is much healthier
for your body. Our goal is to have healthy soils that produce healthy
plants that produce healthy beef that makes healthy people!
Our beef is dry-aged and processed at a USDA
inspected plant in Dalhart, Texas. The beef is available by
the whole, half, quarter (ordered in advance, with a deposit),
or by individual cuts.

operated business located about 140 miles east of Albuquerque. We
specialize in selling grass-fed natural beef (on-the-hoof)

or for additional cost, we can deliver the meat to you.
These steers are healthy and wholesome—no
crowded feedlots, no antibiotics or growth hormones—they are
relaxed free range pasture-fed animals. The meat is absolutely delicious.
We believe that after you have bought one, you will want to purchase

RidgeRun Enterprises, LLC offers LeanAndTender™
grass-fed Longhorn beef to customers throughout the U.S.,
including Steaks, Roasts, Jerky, Brats, Sausage, Gift Packs and
more through our website.
Our naturally raised grass-fed beef products
are prepared from Longhorn cattle specially raised by our family
owned and operated RidgeRun Ranch, located on the high plains grasslands
of the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico—USA!
We use no growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids,
or animal by-products. For all the details, please see our Web page:
"What We Do –
What We Don't Do"
We personally attest to both the care of the
cattle and the preparation of the product. We transport the cattle
to a small, USDA inspected processing plant. Our custom, all-beef
sausage products are prepared with natural seasonings at a small,
family owned shop, which is also USDA inspected. We are also at
the Taos County Farmers Market every other Saturday.
Why Longhorns? In the "Old West,"
around 1865, cowboys were fighting the Civil War. The American Longhorns
had to fend for themselves on the open range and "survival
of the fittest" was nature's way. They became naturally hardy
and lean. They are the same today, and the beef is tender and delicious.

spahn & friends Bison Ranch LLC,
sells grass-fed, all-natural buffalo meat.
We have raised bison since 1998 on Trinchera
Pass, NM. We handle them as little as possible, and guarantee
they are not
subject to questionable drugs,
chemicals or hormones. For numerous customers with various
diseases bison is the only choice for (red) meat. Bison meat is
heart-healthy and
recommended to patients (see “The Dakota Diet” written
by Dr. K. Weiland, and the American Heart Association).
It’s the best diet for athletes (high in protein),
women (lots of iron), kids and seniors (essential fatty acids,
low fat).
Bison meat tastes great. Bison is naturally
juicy and tender and can be interchanged with beef in almost any
recipe. A lower temperature should be used as bison is very lean
and will cook more quickly. It has nutritional advantages over
other meats—you get more protein with fewer
calories and less fat. There is less shrinking in your pan
because of no marbling fat.
We process our bison at a USDA
inspected facility. After 10-14 days hanging the carcass is cut
in custom packages
and frozen. We sell the meat mostly by the pound, but also sell
quarters, halves and whole carcasses. Customers can
pick up their meat at the ranch or get free delivery to Trinidad
and Raton. We ship interstate for an additional fee. In July/August
we sell at the Farmers' Market in Trinidad, CO.
We always hand out cooking tips and recipes to our customers.
For any questions you’re welcome to call (575) 278-2316.
