Genesee Valley Organic Beeves are raised on USDA Certified Organic Pastures in the majestic Sierra Nevada’s of Northern California. Our cattle graze freely on lush, native grasses and drink from mountain fresh water on our 2200 acre ranch.

Our beef is 100% Grass Fed and finished spending its entire life consuming nutrient rich grass. This produces an animal rich in essential omega 3 fatty acids, low in cholesterol, fat and rich in flavor.

Each animal is carefully inspected to ensure it has reached its full potential for optimal carcass size, beef quality, marbling grade and fat content. Those that don’t pass the inspection are held back and finish fed until they meet all of Genesee Valley Organic Beef standards. After field inspection, the steers are shipped for harvest and once they have been dressed and quartered, a final grading inspection is completed to ensure the beef meets Genesee Valley Organic Beef’s Signature Standards. If an animal does not make the grade it is then sold off to a meat packing plant. These inspections referenced above are over and above all USDA requirements and inspections.

Our beef is dry aged “the old fashioned way” for a full 21 days to enhance its flavor and tenderness. We never use electrode stimulation or forced water retention (wet aging) in our aging process. Our aging process is 100% Natural, allowing nature to work its miracle. Most beef sold in America today is not aged for the ideal time, as it represents significant added cost (see steer options).

A bull cannot be genetically superior in all aspects. Standard industry genetic demand is for animal strength, growth rate and durability on the range, milk production and carving ease. Since we pamper our cattle, we base our bull selection on preferred genetics that improve meat quality. Every bull in our herd comes from a family with a strong history of generating offspring that consistently produce meat with above average marbling, increased steak size, meat tenderness and lower fat content.
