HOLDING RANCH offers beef that is wholly raised
on grass, never receiving any supplements, antibiotics, corn or other
feeds that are unnatural to ruminant animals. We raise our beef on
the hills of Lafayette, CA using rotational grazing practices designed
to optimize the health of the native grasslands using natural methods.
We handle our animals humanely, using techniques developed by leading
animal behavior experts.
The beef is processed and inspected by
the USDA at a small, family-owned plant. It is dry-aged for approximately
30 days, then cut, wrapped and frozen. Holding Ranch uses its portable
freezer facility to transport the beef directly to farmers markets
in Walnut Creek, Moraga, Orinda, and Pleasanton. Customers consistently
comment that Holding Ranch beef has excellent flavor and is very
lean. They are pleased that the beef is healthier than what they
can get at the grocery store, and they appreciate being able to
speak with founders Hunter and Anne Holding directly about how
the beef is raised locally.

The cattle share the Ranch with horses, sheep, goats and the
other animals owned by Deer
Hill Ranch, a non-profit organization
that conducts animal interaction and team building programs.
Many of these animals have been rescued and rehabilitated, and
now work in therapeutic capacities with children and seniors.
