Forage Creek Ranch — Noticing a lack of reliable grass-fed beef options in our local stores, the Skinner Family began raising beef in Tremonton, Utah in 2013.
Our original goal was to provide quality meat for our own family, but that quickly changed as friends, neighbors and acquaintances tasted the difference of true beef, raised the way cows should be. "Grass-fed," "Organic," and even terms as simple as "Natural" are often times misleading and do not give the whole picture of how the animals were raised. Our customers love being able to come to the ranch at any time and see we have nothing to hide.
Rotational, intensive, or mob grazing is a huge part of the health of our pastures. We use a system of biomimicry, a fancy word that means we mimic nature in every possible aspect while raising our animals. We start from the grass up. By mimicking normal animal grazing patterns, we provide a constant supply of fresh grass as any given section or paddock will be grazed only 24 hours every 30 days on average. These periods of intense grazing and then extended rest mimic the migration of animals across a prairie, increasing production of plant material which in turn increases the biomass found in the topsoil. We strive to produce the highest levels of life in our soils to give our animals the best forage around.
Our animals are raised with:
No Soy
No GMOs
No Antibiotics
No Hormones
No Synthetic Chemical Fertilizers
No Pesticides
No Herbicides
We respect our animals and do our best to ensure they live in harmony with their innate traits. Come visit the farm.
