Here at Trodaire, all of the females are a Hereford and Angus cross - direct lines and genetics from Anne’s father’s ranch, the Bar Eleven Cattle Company. By nature, the Hereford cow is a docile breed that is a very good mother and easy to work around. The Angus cattle on the other hand are a little on the hotter side, but suited extremely well for life on the range. The Trodaire cross represents the best of both worlds and, coupled with Trodaire’s GAP4 certification, ensures the experience you are enjoying is truly meant to be farm to fork.

Partnering with Global Animal Partnership and obtaining a GAP4 Certification was essential to the ethos of Trodaire Farms. The vision of Global Animal Partnership is “A world where farm animals are treated with compassion, managed to a science-based standard and permitted to express their natural behavior, and where consumers are empowered to make informed purchasing decisions based on transparent animal welfare criteria and labeling. GAP4 ensures cattle are on pasture for 75% of their life, feedlots are not permitted, pastures are maintained with a minimum of 50% cover, specific weaning and castration regulations and 16 hour maximum transport time. No antibiotics ever, no added growth hormones and no animal by-products.

When the time comes for the cows to come in off the range, by GAP4 standards, they are brought into pasture via horseback for finishing. Here they will get supplemental feedings of grains and other feeds to enhance the flavor of the meat. Trodaire Farms adheres to small-batch processing. A cow will go to be processed when it’s ready to a family-owned processor in Wyoming. Here, they will be humanely handled and dry aged 21 days before packaging and sent out to be the most delicious beef that has ever graced your plate.
