Backgrounding: After weaning, cattle continue to grow and thrive by grazing on grass and pastures with ranchers providing supplemental feed including vitamins and minerals to meet all of their nutritional needs.

Weaning: Calves are weaned from their mother’s milk at 6 to 10 months of age when they weigh between 450 and 700 pounds. These calves continue to graze on grass pastures and may begin receiving a small amount of supplemental plant based feed for extra energy and protein to help them grow and thrive.
Ever wondered how beef is raised? Well, we’ve got the answer to that question with our #instaseries starting at the ranch. .

Ranch: Raising beef begins with ranchers who maintain a herd of cows that give birth to calves once a year. When a calf is born, it typically weighs 60 to 100 pounds. Over the next few months, each calf will live off its mother’s milk and graze on grass pastures. For more info on the beef lifecycle visit the link in our profile.
We don’t follow the trends, we set them. Arizona’s ranchers were caring for the land and the environment before it was the cool thing to do because it is the right thing to do. For us, #EverydayisEarthDay and that will continue to be the case far into the future. #EarthDay #everydayenvironmentalist #wildlife #azbeef
