Sitkinak Cattle Ranch
Links
We are now looking forward to our third annual harvest of the remote herd on Sitkinak Island which will take place in October and November 2011. The cattle have thrived here for over 70 years, but have only been harvested on island since 2009. We are now looking for retail outlets for this beef that is truly "Beyond Organic". If you are interested in our wholesale pricing, please email or call (found at the bottom of the page).
The Mudd family is also involved in a number of other activities on Sitkinak Island including:
- Mobile Meat Processing Services
- Guided Ranch Tours
- Guided Hunting and Fishing
- Equipment Rental Services
As a family business, our work is done as unto the Lord our God. Our religous heritage is very important to us. As a parallel, the heritage of our cattle on their isolated pristine island is very special to us as well. Their origin goes back to the first beef cattle brought to Sitkinak Island in 1937. This strain of cattle has thrived in the lush coastal environment ever since that time.
We acquired Organic Certified in 2004, and didn't have to change anything to do it. We've never given a hormone implant or vaccine, never fed hay or grain, never confined these cattle to a small pen. Our cattle are free of things that even the USDA Organic program allows! We certified them as Naturally Grown in 2009, and then finally realized...there is no label to convey the quality of this beef.
So we’ve created our own label called “Beyond Organic”.
