Why is Mill Creek Natural Beef only available in the spring?
When we had the Mill Creek Market, we had beef available throughout the year. From that experience we found that the best product that we can offer you is beef in the spring. Why? Because it just makes sense. Our cattle are born and raised on our ranch, and when weaned from their mothers in the early spring, they go onto the lush green grass on our private pastures, then onto the high mountain feed on the BLM and Forest Service permits. We gather our cattle in the fall. Mill Creek Natural Beef cattle are then placed on a grain finish product in Delta, Colorado. Our beef is grown with the natural cycle of the seasons of Gunnison ,,,much like the Colorado product Olathe Sweet Corn! This delicious and sweet corn is only available during the season that it is ready. The same applies with our quality beef.
