The BEST darn snack stick we have ever eaten. Not greasy or tasteless, this beef stick is made from all natural beef raised in the Badlands of North Dakota on the Meadowlark Ranch. Owned and operated by Kim Shade since 1993, the Shade family has run their Angus and Longhorn herds in the short-grass prairie badlands of the North Dakota. Meadowlark cattle are 100% free-graze, and hormone and antibiotic free. No grain feed is ever used. The rich flavor profile of Meadowlark beef comes from the diet of drought-resistant native grasses that draw nutrients from several feet deep within the soil. Individual plants may be over 100 years old and it is this rare forage that gives Meadowlark beef a character impossible to attain elsewhere.
