Desert Mountain Grass-Fed Beef

We're a cooperative of small family ranches, working together to restore our lands & ecosystems while tenderly caring for our cattle from birth to finish. ll Desert Mountain families practice low-stress livestock handling. There is no ranch so large in our co-op that family members and trusted ranch hands don’t directly oversee our cattle’s health and well-being. Our cattle are 100% rancher-owned from birth to harvest. Desert Mountain Grass-Fed Beef was created by family ranchers to raise high-quality, 100% grass-fed beef. The original founding families are Wilsey ranch from Marsing, Idaho, and Howard ranches from Hammett, Idaho. Today, Desert Mountain has grown into a co-operative of more than 10 ranching and farming families across the Inland Northwest. We raise a breed of cattle of Japanese origin called Akaushi. Some people call it “red wagyu.” We call it perfect. Akaushi Genetics provide the marbling that our customers want in their beef. Using Akaushi cattle is part of what sets us apart from other grass-fed producers. That’s why you find it in so many of the best grocery stores across the West.
