Today we are talking all things beef – grass fed versus grain finished, hormones and antibiotics, labeling and more!

- Resources for finding high quality cattle raised locally
- What legislation and laws might have to do with your food options
Sara is a third generation cattle rancher in Arizona. Her family runs a commercial cow/calf operation in Yavapai County and they started a herd of fullblood Red Wagyu cattle. They started direct marketing beef in 2020 when people were being limited on the poundage or number of packages of beef you could buy in the stores. Since then they haven’t looked back. She loves talking to people about ranching in Arizona and all things beef.
The National Cattleman’s Beef Association
Arizona Cattlegrowers Association is another resource she mentioned for finding ranchers locally to buy meat from.
