USDA Prime Beef

COMING VERY SOON USDA Certification The Creekstone Farms Premium Black Angus Beef program is one of the few branded programs certified by the USDA. This certification ensures superior products through more stringent guidelines and on going inspections. Verifiable Black Angus Genetics It all starts with Superior Black Angus Genetics. Creekstone seek out the cream of the crop when it comes to Black Angus cattle. Unlike many Black Angus beef programs which base their programs on hide color, the cattle Creekstone procure comes from verifiable Black Angus genetics. Hide colour alone does not guarantee quality. Raised And Grazed In The USA Do you know where your beef comes from? At Creekstone Farms they process only the finest Premium Black Angus Beef, all born and bred in the USA. Not Mexico or Canada. So that means not only do Creekstone support small local producers, but they also ensure our beef has met some the most rigid food safety standards anywhere. Humane Animal Treatment One of the things Creekstone know is that Humanely Treated animals produce superior tasting and more tender beef. Every step of the way—from birth to processing, Creekstone ensure our animals are handled compassionately and humanely. In fact, Their processing plant was designed with animal welfare in mind by Dr. Temple Grandin. High Quality Feed For the majority of their lives Creekstone's Black Angus cattle graze on lush pasture land throughout the mid-west. Prior to processing each animal is feed a high quality corn-based feed ration that enhances meat tenderness and flavor. Corn feeding is a key reason for the wonderful taste inherent in US Beef. The corn feed provides the fat with a delicate, sweet flavour. When the fat melts during cooking, these sweet flavours are released into the meat giving a taste that most of our customers describe as "the best steak I've ever eaten". State Of The Art Processing Not many beef producers own a facility that process their cattle exclusively. Because Creekstone own the facility, they control every aspect of production ensuring only the highest quality products are produced. Two USDA Certified Programs In 2004 Creekstone decided to take the Black Angus beef program to a higher level and introduced the Creekstone Farms Natural Black Angus Beef program. Today Creekstone offer two programs, one based on conventionally raised Black Angus cattle and another based on Naturally raised Black Angus cattle.
