Cattle Company. Beef
that lived in a pasture without hormones or antibiotics and never went
to a feedlot. Processed in a small local facility that is USDA
inspected. Raised by farmers paid a decent price for their
goods-this is one of the most important things BCC does. Most farmers
are at the mercy of middle men that pay low prices per pound for the
feedlot. BCC gaurantees it's farmers a set price that encourages them
to want to keep raising grass fed beef. Imagine! Also,
