| In the real world, quality grade leads the market as a basis for premiums. English translation--choice or prime grade means more cash in your pocket. Angus cattle have long been proven to lead the beef industry in quality, grade and a great taste experience. We believe that carcass is THE most important priority and MARBLING is key in the finished beef product. Lowline Angus, and Lowline Composites, have a place in the real world, providing the added benefit of lowering production costs as well as dependable carcass traits such as, enhancing quality grade, tenderness, healthfulness, and great taste. In other words, more cash in your pocket! At ‘Cross Creek Farms we produce stacked, quality Lowline Angus genetics for you to generate more pounds per acre. Customer satisfaction is imperative. We earnestly strive to improve the next generation of every cow family so they will work for you. In our 25 plus years of operation, we have endured the rise and fall of many trends in the cattle business. The currents have made our niche clear. We seek to illustrate that natural production methods trump the feedlot on all levels. The cattle are humanely treated at all times. Superior soil and forage management are proven essential for high choice and prime beef, with taste and tenderness, high in CLA for optimal nutritional benefits. All flesh is grass! Each time our program touches someone in a positive way, we promote the integrity of our breed. Ours is a labor of love. Our wealth will ultimately be measured by the contributions we make, the friendships we enjoy, and the enrichment and serenity we receive from nature. |

At 'Cross Creek Farms, our grassfed beef journey began in 1999, when told by a cardiologist, "You can eat all the beef you want, if it is grass-fed." We were very reluctant to believe this statement. We thought about what he said, and we researched it. Before then, our program was like most, which included feeding lots of corn and other grains, and treating the cattle for lots of associated problems. From the beginning, we had been indoctrinated. We had huge calves at birth, scours, lamenitis, acidosis, retained placenta, copper deficiency, and more--you name it, we had it! We had never made the connection! Then in 2002, we purchased our first Lowlines and began the change. We certainly have had no regrets! Since we added Lowlines and converted to grass and producing high quality forage --the old problems have been virtually eliminated! We then focused on feeding the soil only to find better soil begets better grass and better cattle! It's only logical that would transfer to the beef! |
