At Phat Pheasant Pharms we raise our cattle in Kuna, ID on a rich mixture of grasses that we sow on our 60-acre farm. The blend of grasses we grow includes teff, alfalfa, triticale and others, which not only provide our cattle with a rounded diet, but also together create a healthy soil and ecosystem for other critters living on or passing through the farm.
We raise Australian Lowline cattle, a smaller breed of Aberdeen Angus, originally bred in New South Wales, Australia in the early 20th century. These are a unique breed of Angus that are shorter in stature, but otherwise indistinct from their better-known cousins.
Our cattle quite enjoy the mix of greens on which they subsist—we have thus far registered zero complaints! However, they also delight in a meal of grain. For about 60 days prior to butchering, we finish our cattle on a grain diet. This gives our beef more marbling and better flavor. Lowline cattle are a high meat-yielding breed; this means that when butchered a greater portion of the animal’s gross weight is delivered as butchered meat.
We pride ourselves in how we raise and care for our animals and the product delivered to your freezer.
