Our Pasture Proper™ Producers
Bar H Cattle CompanyBar H Cattle Co. consists of Keith and Sharon Huettig and grandsons Jesse and Jake Nelson. Keith is a lifelong farmer with many years growing potatoes and sugar beets. Grass and hay are the crops of choice now with a herd of Lowline Angus, Red Angus and Black Angus to do the heavy work of harvesting the crops. The goal is to produce feed that will result in delicious, tender, health-giving gourmet beef while improving the environment on the farm. Sharon is an RN and insists that we practice preventative medicine as a norm for a healthy herd. Jesse and Jake are sports nuts and are learning to rope to participate in high school rodeo. We love living on the edge of the desert in Southern Idaho and observing the wildlife and vegetation. Irrigation on the ranch is the magic (our area is called the Magic Valley ) that transforms our rich volcanic soils into extremely productive crop lands. Our cows are not allowed to have junk food - no grain, no hormones(steroids), no antibiotics. Just the grasses and forages that God designed them for! Our lifestyles allow us to serve in many ways in our community.
Fluit Family Farms
Our farm is family owned and operated, along with some friendly neighbors that help out on occasion. We love this land God provided us to work with and we hope to sustain it in a way He would be pleased.
We're located in the beautiful Wallowa Valley of Northeast Oregon. Majestic mountains soar just to the south of our farm. Lush grasslands and hills stretch to the North. This is a wonderful place to raise children and premium grass-fed cattle.
Gale Family Ranch
Hello, we are Bill and Carol Gale. We live in Middleton, Idaho on a small grazing dairy; we also have a hay and beef cow operation in Ontario, Oregon. We have 5 children and 6 grand children.
Bill has been in the dairy business since he was 10. He helped his father milk and finally bought our place here in Middleton in 1980. In 1992, we opted to go to a grazing dairy for the health of the cows. In 2004 we took over the Carol’s family farm in Ontario, Oregon where we decided to grow alfalfa and raise beef cattle. We established the Mesquite Cattle Co. LLC in 2006.
We are able to track our cattle from birth to your table. Our beef is fed home grown or locally grown feed that has not been genetically modified, and they are not given growth hormones or antibiotics.
After attending a grass fed beef conference in 2007 we learned how to identify animals for functionality and tenderness. We are using these methods to pick the steers to fatten on grass. These older genetics, or grass-genetics, out perform modern feed lot style cattle on grass and will fatten in less time.
The health benefits of eating grass fed beef are numerous but it is the taste and tenderness that will bring you back.
