Did you know that our cows at Arizona Grass Raised Beef spend their entire lives grazing across millions of acres throughout Arizona? Yes, we said MILLIONS!
“How can there possibly be enough grass in the desert?” You question.
“Millions of acres? I find that hard to believe.” You say.
The truth is…that we are in fact telling the truth! The “Bureau of Land Management Arizona manages approximately 11.5 million acres of rangeland that are available for livestock grazing.” (Source)
Arizona is filled with diverse terrain throughout the state. Southern Arizona has a variety of great grasslands. Yuma, Arizona is the lettuce capital of Arizona. The Sonoran Desert grows wild grass in both the winter and summer, and the White Mountains have a beautiful grass selection throughout the Alpine terrain. Our cattle spend their lives roaming throughout this land foraging for Natural grass as they go, and they will never step foot in a feedlot.
Our team at Arizona Grass Raised Beef is constantly working with cattle growers, the farm bureau and other associations around the country that support cattle ranchers, and Tim Petersen sits on several boards as well. We know that our customers are more interested now more than ever in where food is coming from, and when you engage with us as a community, you’re helping us keep the cattle ranching world alive. You are also supporting the entire farming community in Arizona.
Keep your eyes open the next time you’re driving through Arizona because you might just spot some of our cattle!
