Should I be worried about mad cow disease with Niman Ranch meats?
The Niman Ranch protocol makes our meat as safe as any in the United States. All our cattle are born in the U.S. They are never fed any meat or meat by-products. We are able to trace the cattle from birth through slaughter. Mad Cow is a brain-wasting disease that is primarily spread by feeding infected animal parts to other animals. Niman Ranch livestock graze on sustainable pastures and are given only the finest all-natural feeds, which never contain any animal by-products. We have direct control of our livestock every step of the way to ensure that our customers receive a high quality product that they can feel good about serving to their family.
