At NatureSource®, we established a proprietary
and strict new standard for
monitoring and delivering our exceptional natural Angus beef. Confirmed by signed
program compliance affidavits and on-site audits, all NatureSource cattle are guaranteed
to be:
- Raised on 100% vegetarian diets and finishing with a special
corn diet
- Humanely raised and handled during all phases with management
procedures recognized by world-renowned animal care experts
- Certified U.S. Born Angus heritage cattle raised by specially
selected ranches known for their open-range practices and maintaining optimum herd
health.
- Processed through USDA inspected processing plants
No antibiotics or added hormones, ever.
NatureSource cattle grow and mature at the natural pace nature intended... without
the use of antibiotics or added hormones—ever. We choose to focus instead on emphasizing
herd health by maintaining a low stress environment where there’s always plenty
of fresh water, quality grains and forages, and a commitment to gentle handling.
Our proprietary verification system monitors each animal
throughout the program, and as an added safeguard, we test our products for residue
to ensure we deliver a safe, natural beef you can count on.
Our natural Angus cattle are 100% vegetarians.
From the ranch to finishing, NatureSource Natural Angus cattle are strict vegetarians,
and are never fed any animal by-products. Beginning on the ranch, where cattle graze
open green pastures, to our certified and humane finishing facilities, our cattle
receive a steady, healthy diet of grains, grasses and essential minerals and vitamins
as they mature. All feeds are tested regularly for pesticides as well as to ensure
compliance with all FDA and USDA safety protocols. The results are a safe, satisfying
eating experience for your family.
Why we feed a minimum 120 days of corn.
Quite simply, it’s a matter of taste. Corn-fed Angus beef provides a taste and texture
you’ll recognize from the finest steak restaurants. Our specially formulated corn
diet is fed for a minimum of 120 days during the critical final finishing phase.
The result is a memorable eating experience every time you serve NatureSource Natural
Angus Beef. Additionally, all grains are routinely tested and documented to meet
our stringent standards for quality and safety, and we monitor our cattle closely
to ensure they are corn-fed as part of our quality control finishing process.
What’s behind the Angus pedigree?
Angus cattle are world renowned for their superior marbling capability and tender,
full-flavored beef. All of our Angus heritage cattle are certified USA born and
raised. Every animal is sourced to one of our ranchers who has signed an
affidavit verifying each steer or heifers’ lineage and origin. We also conduct routine
on-ranch audits to ensure NatureSource Angus cattle deliver the safe, consistent
beef you want for your family.
Tender handling leads to more tender beef.
The NatureSource process implements strict and extensive requirements
and procedures recognized by world renowned animal care experts as “best of breed”
to ensure our Angus cattle are handled in a humane, gentle fashion throughout all
phases of development. Humane treatment is verified by on-site inspections, audits
and signed affidavits and includes allowing the cattle to engage in their natural
behaviors while providing sufficient space, shelter, water and a healthy diet free
of added antibiotics and artificial hormones. Studies indicate cattle handled in this
manner are less stressed and produce tender, quality beef.
Maintaining strict controls ensures safer, healthier beef.
We process our NatureSource Angus Natural Beef in our own USDA inspected facility
recognized for its innovative and comprehensive food-safety standards.
Cattle are handled gently and humanely in our state-of-the-art
facility to minimize stress and to provide you 100% assurance that our stringent
protocols are not only practiced, but strictly enforced. From start to finish, your
safety and the health of your family is our number one concern.
