The Broken Horn D Ranch has been raising certified all natural, grass fed Criollo Beef for over 23 years. All beef animals have been born and raised on the ranch. In addition, the ranch currently grows all of its own hay and reduces its expenses in support of the beef cattle, supplements mother cows in the wintertime, feeding ranch horses, and boarded horses. Occasionally there is hay left over to sell. Also raised are annuals such as triticale, winter wheat and oats for cattle grazing and hay under 50 acres of irrigated pasture which is watered by three wheel lines. The pastures are planted in 39 acres of lush Orchard Grass for grazing or hay production in addition to 11 acres of Triticale. The current owner increases the carrying capacity by supplementing with free spent brewers grain from a local brewery.
Criollo Grass and Mash Fed Beef Business: In order to provide the quality and consistency in the beef, the Broken Horn D Ranch has spent years perfecting and marketing their unique product to the community and beyond. They currently sell their beef to a local store in addition to providing their great product to individual families.
The ranch ensures their cattle receive the best of care in a natural environment. The Broken Horn D Ranch is a Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) Certified Producer, verifying the ranch operates by the highest industry standards for humane handling and care of the cattle.
In addition, their animals meet the USDA standards for Grass Fed, No Added Hormones, No Antibiotics, No Animal By-Products, All Natural and Age & Source, which has been independently verified by Tenhni Trak, LLC.
Furthermore, Broken Horn D Ranch has completed nutritional analysis through the University of Arizonas Food Products Lab, rendering their beef high in protein, low in fat and cholesterol making their product superior in health benefits.
A portion of the cattle are fed out with high quality brewers grain from a local brewery. This mash is a great source of protein, TDN, vitamins and minerals for the cattle. The cattle metabolize the mash the same as forage. Studies have shown that the brewers grains do not have a negative effect on rumen health that uncooked grains have.
The combination of offering the options of grass fed and grass and mash fed beef to its customers has shown to be an essential part of the Broken Horn D Ranchs success.
