About Our Beef
Flying F Ranch beef is raised from birth to harvest right here on the ranch. We believe in feeding our beef as sustainably as possible while also providing them with an exceptional life.
We grow our own oat hay and feed spent brewer's grain as our weaned calves grow and develop.
During the last 3 months, we feed a high quality beef builder grain to create delicious beef for your family. Beef is processed about 15 months of age on average.
Our cattle have access to open pastures and mountain spring water year round.
We use Certified Angus Beef genetics to produce high marbled, tender, top quality beef! As generational ranchers, we are proud to serve our local community by prioritizing sustainable use of the land to optimize the health of our cattle.
Additionally, we are Beef Quality Assurance certified. Which means we strive to use the best handling and care for our cattle their entire lives. We practice good husbandry techniques and accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management conditions.
