Rockin J Cattle

About this farm

At Rockin J Cattle, we try to maintain a balance in our production model, simulating what occurs in nature. From calving in sync with the local wildlife, to utilizing grazing methods which mimic the predator – prey relationship that occurred in nature thousands of years ago. We herd our cattle, using temporary electric fences, simulating the herding effects caused by a predator. By managing the grazing patterns of the animals, the nutrient cycle is complete,as 99% of what the cattle take from the land is returned, resulting in increased levels of carbon in the soil. This cycling of nutrients allows us to forego the application of fertilizers to our fields. Whereas others strive to finish their beef within 18 months, we strive to finish our beef within 24-30 months of age. Just as a fine wine develops its flavor with age, I believe that this also contributes to the flavor of our beef. The harvesting of our beef is done locally at a small family operated business. You can get our beef by the pound, medium size packages, quarters, sides or in volume if you want to start a buying club. It is available at the Steamboat Springs Farmers Market (6th & Lincoln), Saturdays 8-2, the Bamboo and Sweet Pea Markets in Steamboat Springs, CO, Rocky Plains Meats in Dacono and Ft. Collins, CO, It is also served in Steamboat Springs at the Bear River Bar and Grill (Ski Time Square), Freshies Restaurant (Highway 40), The Drunken Onion (Wild Horse Shopping Center), and The Epicurean (825 Oak Street). We deliver to Steamboat Springs and the Front Range monthly; sign up for our newsletter on our website for ongoing delivery information.
