At Fort McCoy Ranch, we offer two distinct beef programs to give customers clear choices based on flavor preference, nutrition, and cooking style.
Both programs begin the same way — cattle raised on open pasture — but finish differently to create two unique beef profiles.
Grass-Fed
- 100% grass diet
- Naturally leaner beef
- Rich in natural nutrients
- Clean, traditional beef flavor
Grain-Finished
- Pasture-raised cattle
- Grain-finished for marbling
- Rich steakhouse flavor
- Tender texture
Neither option is “better” — they are simply different approaches.
Both are raised responsibly on our ranch and processed in our USDA-inspected facility.
FROM RANCH TO TABLE
We Control Every Step
Unlike most beef brands, Fort McCoy Ranch oversees the entire process — from raising cattle on pasture to processing in our USDA-inspected facility and delivering directly to customers.
This level of control ensures transparency, consistent quality, and beef you can trust.
Raised on Our Ranch
Our cattle are raised on open pasture in Florida where responsible ranching and animal care guide how we manage our herd.
Pasture-Based Programs
Both of our beef programs begin with cattle grazing on pasture before finishing according to the selected feeding program.
USDA-Inspected Processing
All Fort McCoy Ranch beef is processed in our USDA-inspected facility, ensuring strict standards for safety, quality, and consistency.
Direct-to-Consumer
By selling directly to customers, we eliminate unnecessary middlemen and deliver beef with complete transparency from ranch to plate.
RESPONSIBLE RANCHING
Ranching Built on Responsibility
At Fort McCoy Ranch, how we raise cattle matters just as much as the beef we produce. Our ranching practices focus on animal welfare, land stewardship, and long-term sustainability.
Animal Welfare
Our cattle are raised in low-stress environments on open pasture, allowing them to graze naturally and develop the way cattle were meant to.
Land Stewardship
Healthy pasture is the foundation of responsible ranching. We manage our land carefully to support grazing cycles and long-term soil health.
Transparency
We believe customers deserve to know where their food comes from. By overseeing our cattle, land, and processing, we provide complete transparency.
Supporting Local Ranchers
Through our processing facility, we work with ranchers across Florida, helping strengthen the local ranching community.
From pasture-raised cattle to USDA-inspected processing, Fort McCoy Ranch is built on transparency, responsible ranching, and a commitment to quality.
