Your Guide to Beef: TCC Insights
how our beef are fed
As a consumer, you have a lot of choices when it comes to choosing the best beef to feed and fuel your family. At TCC, our premium all natural beef is grass-fed and grain-finished and has no added hormones or antibiotics, ever.
For 85% of the life of our beef, they graze feed in the Owyhee Mountains and our ranches in southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The cows and calves head up the mountains in March and then in October and November of each year, we are moving them back down the mountains to our homeplace in Oreana, ID.
For the last 120-150 days of their life, our cattle are fed a ration of grass and alfalfa, with a side of corn, all grown locally in our local valley. Finishing with grain provides superior marbling, tenderness and rich taste in TCC all natural beef.
Your purchase is not only supporting our ranch family but also the farm families that raise the feed we finish our all-natural beef on.
TCC BEEF GRADING
At TCC, we take pride in the quality and flavor of our beef, which is why we want to share this information on beef grading.
Beef grading is an official USDA process that evaluates the quality of meat based on marbling, texture, and maturity.
TCC beef consistently earns Choice and Prime grades—among the highest quality ratings available. This means our cuts have superior marbling for exceptional flavor, tenderness, and juiciness.
Use this guide to understand more about what goes into grading, why it matters, and how TCC’s commitment to quality ensures you’re getting the very best, every time.
