Flying B Bar Ranch

Flying B Bar Ranch, located in Strasburg, Colorado, is a second-generation ranch that produces grass fed grass finished Wagyu/Angus cattle and Natural Heritage Pork, and is the passion pursuit of the Buchanan family; Brad, Margaret, Grace and Will and Partner Zach Angotti. At Flying B Bar Ranch, our cattle are 100% grass fed and finished. This means no grains, corn, or soy, ever, during their entire lives, and we never use hormones, antibiotics, or steroids. They get nothing but grass and sunshine, while roaming on thousands of acres of natural prairie grasses. We use holistically planned grazing, utilizing rotational and intensive grazing techniques. In short, our cattle are constantly moving from pasture to pasture throughout the year based upon weather, soil and grass conditions. This ensures each pasture the adequate recovery time and keeps cattle moving how they were naturally meant to. This gives our cattle plenty of nutrition, exercise, and grass, while protecting the natural ecosystem from overgrazing and losing nutrients and moisture in the soil. Our cattle walk the land and churn the earth with their hooves, breaking down debris and fertilizing the soil. Cattle can be THE best tool for conserving and improving soil and grass health if done correctly! We are certified by the American Grassfed Association as 100% grass fed and finished. Their certification is the gold standard in regenerative ranching, and it means you can buy our beef with confidence that we raised our cattle the right way, rather than the fast way. We give our cattle plenty of room to roam and graze, and plenty of time to be themselves. We stand by our practices, and unlike the Wizard of Oz, we are happy to pull back the curtain and show our customers exactly how we do what we do, and why we do it the way we do it. We focus on the soil because that creates better grass, and better grass makes for better cattle and a better planet. We build our soil and its nutrients by planting cover crops, encouraging native wildlife and birds, and working with the land, rather than against it. That’s why we ranch the way we do; to create a natural balance that nourishes the earth, the cattle, and our customers. The natural prairie grasses of eastern Colorado have evolved over millions of years to be efficient at storing water and carbon in the soil, and our entire operation revolves around giving those grasses every opportunity to succeed. We do this not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s good business too: every year that our pastures can store more water, carbon, and nutrients means that the next year the prairie will be stronger, grow better, and support more of our natural ecosystem. This means we can support more cattle, who can then support more pasture and prairie. It’s a cycle, and we work hard to take care of it. We love what we do, and we are dedicated to educating the public about the benefits of knowing where your food comes from and supplying them with food that they can trust.
