At CT Ranch, our family’s journey towards optimal health is the driving force behind our mission to produce the most nourishing food for both our family and yours.  

Today, I'd love to give you a glimpse into our personal story that inspired us to create CT Ranch and our unwavering commitment to offering 100% grass-fed beef and other nourishing foods. 

Our journey began when we found out that our oldest daughter, Ariana, was struggling with serious allergies to an array of foods.

This revelation sparked a journey of research that opened our eyes to the harsh reality of the food industry - we found that it's not designed with our best interests in mind, but rather focused on profit at the expense of our health.

During our quest for healing through nutrition, we fell in love with 100% grass-fed beef and its numerous benefits. 

And once you get to know the amazing benefits of grass-fed beef, I am sure you'll be head over heels for it too! So, let's dive into the awesome nutrition facts, the one-of-a-kind taste, and how our family farm can back you up on your health journey!

The Nutritional Edge of Grass-Fed Beef

Our grass-fed cattle enjoy a natural diet consisting of fresh grasses and wild native forage. This nutrient-rich diet results in beef that is:

  • 🏋️‍♂️Leaner: With less overall fat content than grain-fed beef, our grass-fed beef is a great choice for those looking to reduce their fat intake without sacrificing flavor.
  • 🧪Higher in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Grass-fed beef contains more Omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation.
  • 🌈Rich in Antioxidants and CLA: Grass-fed beef boasts higher levels of antioxidants like Vitamin E and beta-carotene, as well as Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), all working together to help shield your body from free radicals and oxidative stress.
  • 💪Packed with Essential Vitamins and Minerals: Enjoy a natural source of essential nutrients like Vitamin B12, zinc, and iron, which can help boost your immune system and overall health.

Not only is our 100% grass-fed beef healthier, but it also boasts a unique, delicious flavor profile. The natural diet of our cattle contributes to a richer, more complex taste than grain-fed beef. With CT Ranch's grass-fed beef, you can savor every bite knowing you're making a healthier choice!

The Truth About Fats: Part 1

How Seed Oils Took Over Our Tables 🧑‍🌾 A New Series from CT RanchWelcome to the first part of our three-part series, The Truth About Fats. Over the next three months, we’ll be walking through how our food — and our health — changed when the world turned away from traditional animal fats and toward industrial seed oils. It’s a story that goes back much farther than most people realize… all the way to the 1800s. 🕯️ From Candles to the Kitchen It all started in 1837 when two enterprising men, Proctor and Gamble, began making candles out of cottonseed oil instead of animal tallow. It was a clever use of a cheap byproduct of the cotton industry, and for a while, it worked — until the lightbulb came along. When Edison’s electric company lit up homes in 1882, the need for candles plummeted. Suddenly, Proctor & Gamble had barrels of leftover cottonseed oil and no place for it to go. But instead of throwing it out, they looked for another way to sell it — and that’s where everything began to change. 🥣 The Birth of Crisco By 1903, scientists had figured out how to hydrogenate cottonseed oil — changing its color, texture, and smell to resemble animal fat. A few years later, in 1911, Proctor & Gamble launched their new product: Crisco. It was marketed as “cleaner, lighter, and modern.” Ads showed smiling homemakers and happy families gathered around golden-fried foods. It was cheaper than butter or lard, and before long, kitchens across America were filled with tins of Crisco instead of jars of rendered fat. By 1933, the company switched from cottonseed to soybean oil, an even cheaper option — and the rest is history. 🌾 A Shift Away from Tradition Over time, the oils that were once considered cheap industrial byproducts became everyday staples. And somehow, the fats that nourished generations before us — butter, tallow, lard — were labeled as “unhealthy.” But if you trace the story back, you’ll see that this wasn’t about health at all. It was about marketing, money, and convenience. The result? A nation that lost touch with the natural, stable fats that were part of God’s good design for nourishment. 🔍 Time to Look Deeper Today, the debate continues — seed oils vs. traditional animal fats. But when you start digging into the history and science, the truth speaks for itself. In the meantime, check out below of the traditional fats we offer here at CT Ranch to bring real nourishment back to your family table.

Farm Dogs: The Real Bosses of the Ranch

Farm dogs don’t clock in—but they DO have very official roles that conveniently come with zero paperwork and unlimited union breaks. While every farm runs a little differently, most hard-working ranch mutts and pedigreed pros share a familiar list of “job duties,” whether they live here at CT Ranch or somewhere across the country:

“Shots, Germs, and Terrain:” Unpopular Opinions and Controversial Topics.

Out here at CT Ranch, we keep things pretty simple. When it comes to our animals, the only shot we give our calves is for brucellosis — and that’s just once, when they’re little. Why? Because in our experience, brucellosis is a very real risk, and the vaccine does a good job of minimizing it. We haven’t yet found a better way to handle that particular threat, so we use it. Beyond that, we put our trust in strong terrain, good forage, clean water, and plenty of sunshine. That got me thinking about the bigger picture: vaccines, germs, and the theories we’ve all been taught to accept as gospel.
