Grass-fed American Wagyu Beef raised on an Organic Ranch in central Nevada

Snowball Ranch is certified organic for both the ranch land and cattle by CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers).  Our beef are raised organically, but the USDA National Organic Standards stipulates to be labeled organic,  the meat must also be processed at a certified organic meat processing plant.  As of today, an organic meat processing plant does not exist in the State of Nevada, so to comply with the National Organic Standards,  we market, label and sell our beef as "raised organically".

Snowball™ cattle are bred from homegrown black Angus cows and bred to full blood Wagyu bulls which results in what is called "American Wagyu".   From birth to 24 months, the cattle spend their entire lives freely roaming the mountain meadows and ranch range or fed a mixture of grass and alfalfa hay raised organically on the ranch.  

• Our cattle receive no shots EVER - no antibiotics, added growth hormones or additives of any kind
• Grass fed and grass finished.   Our animals only eat  what is provided by nature on the range or organically grown in the Ranch's pastures.  No pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
• Year-round access to the outdoors
• Humanely raised
