Our Story

1994 - Jay Howard moves his family from Arizona to Colorado.  The Howard's lived in a tee pee with 3 small children while building their home in Bayfield.  Two more children later, years of a family bluegrass band, recording several albums homeschooling, marriages and grand children, changing from Herefords to Charolais Cattle; the Howard's are stronger than ever.  They produce some of the best private all natural beef in Southwest Colorado, and watched their children move from bluegrass into Contemporary Praise music with a bluegrass flare.  Life is a journey and life is good. And our beef is the best!
