About Our Beef
Angus
There is little lacking in the Angus breed and it meets the demands of thecattle industry on a wide range of points. It is a docile breed with a relatively hearty body type. The Black Angus breed is known world-wide for delivering a phenomenal eating experience with rock solid consistency. Compared to other breeds, Angus cattle naturally deposit high amounts of intramuscular marbling into their muscle, producing a very desirable flavor.
Natural
According to the USDA, a natural beef product is one that "does not contain any artificial flavor or flavoring, coloring ingredient, or chemical preservative or any other artificial or synthetic ingredient; and the product and its ingredients are not more than minimally processed." Most packages of beef that consumers purchase at supermarkets contain artificial flavoring, coloring and water. This enhances the appearance of the beef and the weight of the beef. Essentially, purchasing beef with water weight added means paying more for less beef. Berry Angus does not implement these tactics. We instead focus on amarketing higher quality product.
Our Label
Berry Aungus beef is born and raised at Berry College, which guarantees that the product is Black Angus, natural, raised without added hormones, and is processed at a state inspected facility to insure quality. A label is required to sell individual cuts of beef.
Nutritional Value
All beef is nutrient rich, with eight times more vitamin B12, six times more zinc and three times more iron than skinless chicken breast. Twenty-nine cuts of beef meet government guidelines for lean, such as the filet mignon, sirloin, and lean ground beef. Beef is America’s #1 source of protein.
No Added Hormones
Absolutely no synthetic hormones are given to the steers to enhance their growth or development.
Feed
Berry Angus steers are grain fed from weaning weight to harvest, which averages about 8-9 months. Grain feeding increases the marbling that creates maximum flavor.
Source
All Berry Angus steers are born and raised at Berry College. Berry students care for and oversee the well-being of these animals.
