Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch HEART-J NATURAL BEEF 100% Grass-Fed Natural Beef www.sylvandale.com Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished When you buy Heart-J Natural Beef, your purchase helps promote conservation of land, wildlife & the Western lifestyle. THE HEART-J BEEF STORY Beef production has been a tradition at Sylvan Dale Ranch since the mid 1960s, when Maurice and Mayme Jessup bought their first herd of cattle. In the years that followed, they developed a breeding program with registered Saler and Gelbvieh bulls, resulting in a unique herd well-suited to the grasslands of the Rocky Mountain foothills. Recently we introduced Red Devon and Lowline Angus breeding stock, known for more tenderness and higher weight gains on grass. Today, our cattle free-range on adjacent forest land, as well as our 3,200 acre ranch, over 80% of which is protected by conservation easements. Our rotational grazing practices stimulate vegetation regrowth and also help prevent build-up of fuels on the forest floor thus reducing the risk of wildfire. We are extremely proud of our herd and the quality natural beef it provides. We invite you, by appointment, to tour our working ranch and see our handsome herd! 100% Grass-Fed ~ For Health!

Our bulk prices are based on actual package weight, so you know exactly what you pay for. Unlike many beef producers, we charge by actual weight of beef packages you take home. In the past, we also charged by “hanging weight,” which is the weight of a side of beef after slaughter, before it hangs in the curing room for 14-15 days. Hanging weight prices appear to be low, but that’s because when the bone, fat and trim is removed from the carcass, the weight of remaining beef ranges from 62% to 69% of the hanging weight. For example, from a side of beef with a hanging weight of 290 lbs, you’d get between 180 to 210 lbs of packaged meat. If you paid $4.32/lb hanging weight, plus processing fees, your price per lb of take-home meat would end up being between $7.05/lb and $8.18/lb. Given this variability, it makes sense to price our beef by the actual package weight you take home, which includes all the processing fees.
