Templeton Hills Beef offers a healthier alternative for people concerned about the quality and origin of the food they put in their bodies. Our cattle are raised from birth on our ranches and graze on the interior valleys of California’s Central Coast in and around the community of Templeton. We offer Black Angus cattle room to roam on many open acres of grassland. Traceability- We can tell you wh
ere our animals have been every day of their lives. They are never given antibiotics or hormones and never see a feedlot. Our hands-on management involve careful monitoring of our herd and its grazing practice to make sure both pasture and animals benefit. We have a connection with our cattle and our land, and take great pride in the stewardship of both. Grass fed beef has a lower fat content than traditional store bought beef and as such has a wonderful flavor all its own. Because our meat it is leaner, the flavor is derived from the beef itself, not the fat. The fat content of our meat is lower then traditional, grain finished, feed lot, beef that we are used to buying from the super market. We utilize the concept of rotational grazing as a corner stone of our land management technique. We move our animals onto pasture, allow them to graze it for a certain amount of time and then move them onto other pasture. This mimics how herbivores might move across grassland in the wild. It allows the pasture to be utilized by the animal and then gives the grassland a period of rest and re – growth. We offer our grass fed beef in any portion size from 1lb. of hamburger to the whole animal, and any amount in between. We package 10 lb. and 25 lb boxes of assorted cuts. This allows you, the customer, and flexibility in how you choose to purchase your meat. All meat is vacuum sealed, flash frozen and clearly labeled. If you choose to purchase a half or whole animal, which is the most economic way to buy beef, we work with you through the process. We will oversee slaughter and delivery to one of the many butchers we work with. The butcher will then age, cut and wrap your beef to your specifications. We would be happy to advise you on the optimum way to do this. Once the butcher is finished, your beef will be ready for you to pick up and enjoy.
