Beef raised the way that you envision; On pasture not feed lots with antibiotics and steriods.

Highly mineralized beef
The SOILS here in South Dakota are geologically young, being from the most recent Wisconsin glacial advance. They are still rich in many of the trace minerals that today have been leached out of older more weathered soils. The cattle get supplemental salt and minerals, but much is provided to the plants by the soil and of course from the plants to the animals. This method worked for several thousand years before commercial feedlots and we feel that this is still the best this way.
The right kind of cattle

The cattle here are from moderate framed older style genetics. Small groups that survived the shift to mass-produced feed lot beef during the past 30 years. Typical cattle today have been bred to produce the most dollars in an industrial system. The standard feedlot type beef animal will not likely produce a good eating experience without being fed a fair amount of grain. Ours have been procured from some of the few farms that have stayed out of the rush to commercialize our foods and while they may not get as big as fast as their commercial bretheren we think you'll agree they are well worth the wait.
