Crown H Cattle

Crown H Cattle Company raises its Belted Galloway cattle naturally on the family ranch, finishing them for 60 to 90 days on ranch-grown hay and a specially made ration from a local Grange Co-op. The cattle are born and raised on the ranch, and the Hanna family drives them directly to a local butcher in their own stock trailer for humane processing. The beef is dry-aged locally for 14 to 20 days. Because the ranch works with a smaller-scale local butcher, cuts can be tailored to each animal rather than uniform portioning. Belted Galloways carry a thick double-hair coat in place of the typical fat rind found in other beef breeds, resulting in fat that is marbled through the meat rather than concentrated under the hide.
