The beef
Grass-raised
Balanced by nature, 100% Grass-raised, or pasture-raised beef are raised on a grass-based diet throughout their whole life. High in healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin-rich, and nutrient dense.
Grain-finished
Grain-finished cattle, like grass-raised cattle, spend the majority of their lives eating grass in pastures. When beef is grain–finished, cattle are also free to eat a balanced diet of grain, local feed ingredients, land hay or forage.

The quality
Beef Quality Assurance standards
We diligently follow Beef Quality Assurance Standards. All our cattle are processed at USDA inspected facilities that we select for their cleanliness and ability to provide stress-free handling and processing.
Utmost humanity
Our cattle are raised on lush green pastures in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We work closely with local butchers to create a stress-free bridge for our cattle to ensure that each animal is treated humanely and with respect.
Tasty beef
We raise premium quality Angus cattle, known for its finely marbled meat. This marbling trait of Angus typically creates a more tender, juicy and flavorful meat and optimal tenderness than other types of cattle. Our beef are fed the right way, as compared to our competition, in a feedlot on high standard rations to product this amazing flavor.
Our passion
The Ely Family Ranch is a 5th generation cattle ranch nestled in the Rocky Mountains northwest of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, that started production in the late 1800’s. Since the start of the family ranch we have always made it our first priority to grow wholesome quality Angus beef. With our history raising beef cattle, our experience in the industry is incomparable. Our family ranch does everything that it can to treat our cattle with respect and care. Our passion is ranching and caring for our cattle, and there is nothing else we would rather be doing.
