GB7 Cattle Company is a family owned and operated cattle ranch. We Specialize in registered Black Angus cattle and are dedicated to providing the highest quality, all natural beef to our customers. Our family chose Black Angus beef for its high quality breeding, which lends itself to better flavor and consistent quality beef. We also choose to hand feed our cattle to ensure that the highest grade of nourishment is provided each day. We feed our stock alfalfa right up to the time of graining. Then follow this high grade feed with different varieties of grain to develop great tasting, tender beef. We know, and keep our customers informed of what the cattle has been fed, and the conditions of their environment throughout the entire cycle. That way we can guarantee our customers the highest quality, safest, and best all natural beef.

All of our cattle are raised according to all natural standards which allow them to eat as much natural feed as they want when they want. Plus they have constant access to fresh water. They are finished on a corn ration for at least 120 days prior to processing. This is very important, especially in a time of increasing concerns of BSE (Mad Cow Disease).
All our beef is processed after it is dry aged for 18-21 days to insure tenderness and flavor. This is a process rarely used in today's commercialized beef industry. That is because it is more time consuming and is very costly to the producer.
