Certified: American Grass Fed
Flying B Bar Ranch is certified as an American Grassfed Association Producer. All of our beef is fed exclusively alfalfa and sorghum/sudangrass grown here on the ranch, planted, swathed and baled by us. We never feed our cattle grain, soy, or by-product feedstuffs, and they are never sent to feedlot. To retain our certification we are inspected and audited annually for our processes, medical regimen, feeding and pasture quality and approach, records and systems, cattle processing facilities, chutes, alleys, pens, calving approach, branding approach and overall animal welfare.

Eat Wild
Eatwild was founded in 2001. Its mission was to promote the benefits—to consumers, farmers, animals, and the planet—of choosing meat, eggs, and dairy products from 100% grass-fed animals or other non-ruminant animals fed their natural diets. Eatwild is now the #1 clearinghouse for information about pasture-based farming and features a state-by-state directory of local farmers who sell directly to consumers.
