WELCOME TO ROCKY BOX RANCH
Premium Grass-Fed Highland Cattle
Raised in the Heart of the Swan Valley
Located outside of Bigfork, Montana, in the beautiful Swan Valley, Rocky Box Ranch is dedicated to raising purebred registered Highland cattle in a natural and sustainable environment. Our ranch provides access to the finest genetics and best practices for producing top-quality meat. We are proud members of the American Highland Cattle Association.
Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Highland Cattle
At Rocky Box Ranch, our Highland cattle thrive in the scenic landscapes of Swan Valley. Here are some of the benefits of choosing our Highland beef for your farm-to-table experience:
Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished
We supplement our cattle with high-quality, non-Roundup ready hay sourced from other local ranches, ensuring they receive proper nutrition. This hay provides a more natural and healthier diet for our cattle, while supporting sustainable farming practices in our community.
No Growth Hormones or Antibiotics
Our steers are raised without the use of growth hormones or antibiotics, prioritizing their health and welfare. This practice ensures that all our meat products are pure and free from artificial substances.
Lower Cholesterol
Research indicates that Highland beef contains approximately 40% less total fat and up to 20% less cholesterol compared to conventional beef. For instance, Highland beef typically has around 70 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams, while conventional beef can range from 75 mg to over 90 mg per 100 grams. This is attributed to the Highland breed’s natural grazing habits and the unique fatty acid composition of their meat. By choosing Highland beef, you can indulge in rich flavors while enjoying a product that supports better heart health.
Top Notch Genetics
As members of the American Highland Cattle Association, we carefully select and breed our purebred registered Highland cattle to highlight desirable traits such as conformation, which is critical to the overall health and productivity of the animal. Good conformation ensures proper body structure, balance, and overall well-being, which directly contributes to higher quality meat. Our focus on genetics also includes selecting for natural mothering instincts and ease of birthing, further enhancing the welfare of both the cows and their calves.
