The Selkirk Ranch

The Selkirk Ranch has been certified organic by the Idaho Department of Agriculture since 2002 (Certification #9-398) and is USDA-inspected. Cattle are raised entirely on grass and legumes with no grain, no antibiotics, no growth hormones, no herbicides, no pesticides, and no synthetic fertilizers. The herd grazes on open pasture and is grass-finished. Because the animals are grass-fed, they take more than two years from calf to slaughter weight. The ranch maintains a closed herd to minimize disease risk and sources any new bulls from local breeders it knows. Beef is commercially frozen after cutting and packaged in double-wrapped paper, with Cryovac vacuum-seal available as an option. Processing takes place at a USDA-inspected facility without co-mingling with other meats.
