Bill Kurtis explains the Tallgrass Story in his own words.
3. Sustainability
There is an unsettling feeling among many Americans that something is wrong with our mass-produced, industrial food system.
The sacrifice of nutrition for shelf-life and marketability is just one complaint.
You’ll find others in the data we’ve linked to on this website. They’re well known.
We have listed what we stand for at Tallgrass Beef. I think this says it best:
I am Tallgrass Beef.
I am the future of America’s Beef.
I am a pure, natural product of the Great American Prairie; the best, healthiest and most delicious brand of grass fed raised beef you can buy.
I come from rare genetic stock whose historic origins are verified and fully traceable. Insuring that you always enjoy delicious, healthy beef.
I come from cattle that spent their lives on open range or improved pastures eating only natural forages. No synthetic growth hormones, animal by-products or antibiotics were ever involved in my production.
I come from cattle that were never forced to eat grain, nor spend any part of their life in a feed lot.
I come from ranchers and farmers who treat all their animals in a humane manner from birth to harvest.
I come from good stewards of the land—independent ranchers and farmers who raise cattle in a time-honored manner that sustains and enriches the environment.
I taste as good as the best prime beef, but I am better for your health.
I am Tallgrass Beef.
And that’s why I’m a grass-fed rancher.
