Our cattle graze on the fertile plains of the Snoqualmie
and Snohomish river valleys. Cascade Range Beef raises beef cattle in a most
humane and natural way, so the animals are in an environment that allows them to
roam freely. Our ranches are in a pastoral, rural setting, yet are still close enough to
the greater Seattle and Puget Sound area to serve a metropolitan customer base.
We have been supplying grassfed beef to our customers as Cascade Range Beef
since 2006, but our experienced ranchers have been raising beef for many decades.
Breeds
Most of the cattle that we raise are Red Angus, a breed that thrives in this climate, is
easy to handle on the range, and yields a high-quality meat for your dinner table.
We also raise some Hereford and Black Angus.
Harvesting
At Cascade Range Beef, we do not wait until the fall months to butcher. We begin
butchering in the spring, when the pasture grasses are new and fresh. This early
harvest yields a beef that has been finished on the lush spring grasses that are so
full of nutrients such as vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids. Our harvesting continues
through the year, when we generally wrap up in December.
For customers who need beef during the off-season, we are able to supply beef
then, as well. Beef harvested in the winter usually will have been supplemented by
hay, which is merely dried grass.
