Message from Bill Kurtis, Founder of Tallgrass Beef Company

The recent USDA recall of 143 million pounds of beef has prompted many Americans to question the quality of the food they feed their families.  I want to reassure you that the reasons that first led people to choose Tallgrass Beef are all still valid.  Tallgrass cattle are humanely treated throughout their lives and are not confined to feedlots.   Our cattle spend their lives in pastures, meadows, and prairie.  The genetics of our cattle are select heritage breeds which we can trace back to the original European bloodlines imported into the United States over a hundred years ago.  Our cattle are never fed antibiotics, artificial growth hormones, steroids, or animal byproducts.  We use ultrasound technology to scan, measure, and select only the highest quality and most tender beef.   Tallgrass cattle are raised in a manner that is better for the environment than conventional beef because our cattle never leave the pasture and fertilize next year’s grasses.   All Tallgrass cattle are born, raised, and processed in the USA, supporting local economies, and are one hundred percent source verified.  Our beef not only tastes great, but it is good for you.   Tallgrass beef has many health benefits: high in CLAs, omega-3s, branch chain amino acids, dietary protein, vitamins A & E, and other antioxidants.   Eating Tallgrass Beef is joining a movement--for healthier, tastier food for America.   Tallgrass Beef Company remains committed to delivering you and your family the highest quality grass-fed and finished beef available.   If you are a customer of Tallgrass, you can continue buying with confidence.  If you are new to us, I invite you to try our grass-fed beef.
Sincerely,

-Bill Kurtis
