FOODSERVICE

Harris Ranch — It's a name, a destination and a brand known throughout the west for quality beef. Beef that's always tender and great-tasting. For over 40 years consumers have looked to the Harris Ranch brand of beef because we are consistently recognized as being the most progressive, innovative and quality conscious beef producer on the West Coast. Something that we pride ourselves on here at Harris Ranch is our vertically-integrated production system. Since Harris Ranch is fully integrated and family owned, we control all aspects of production, starting with cattle sourcing and continuing through our feedlot and processing plant. This integrated system allows us to fulfill a promise. A promise of consistently flavorful beef. A promise made possible by our attention to detail and decades of experience producing the west's most popular beef.

And now, the same corn-fed beef that generations of travelers have enjoyed at the Harris Ranch Restaurant in California is available nationwide for foodservice operators seeking a superior center-of-the-plate offering. We offer two unique, all-natural beef programs for foodservice including our white tablecloth USDA Certified Natural Black Angus Beef as well as Harris Ranch All-Natural Certified Premium Beef — a non-breed specific program. Both programs are corn-fed, minimally processed and contain no artificial ingredients. All cattle feed is tested to ensure it is free of pesticide residues, and cattle and beef are randomly sampled to ensure neither contains antibiotic residues. Plus, our beef is hand selected to ensure our customers are provided a product they can be proud to feature on their menu.

Harris Ranch USDA Certified Natural Black Angus Beef combines superior taste and tenderness while providing the natural beef attributes demanded by the most discerning consumers. Harris Ranch Natural Black Angus Beef is more than a black-hided beef program. Through our Partnership for Quality (PQ) Program we are able to source an increasing number of young feeder cattle of known Angus genetics that meet specific criteria for cattle performance and carcass quality. In addition to our PQ ranching partners, we also are able to source Angus cattle from other producers with whom we have long-standing relationships. Producers we know are committed to the same core values as Harris Ranch.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides oversight to the Harris Ranch Natural Black Angus Beef program. Strict requirements for carcass traits must be met for carcasses to be certified by USDA for the Harris Ranch Natural Black Angus Beef program. Following USDA inspection and grading, Harris Ranch’s Quality Assurance staff selects only the highest quality beef based upon stringent standards that have made the Harris Ranch name synonymous with superior quality. It is this strict attention to detail and hand-selection that results in the most consistent, highest quality, products for our food service customers.

From the ranch to the table, our goal is to produce the highest quality, most tender and flavorful beef possible. That is why Harris Ranch Natural Black Angus Beef is corn-fed, USDA Certified, and hand-selected to meet the discerning tastes of our customers and yours. Not only will Harris Ranch Natural Black Angus Beef exceed all of your quality expectations, our consistent sized products are now available in a convenient small box program.
