If you're ready for the best steak you'll ever eat, try a Maverick Ranch Natural Choice Beef steak. All Maverick Ranch beef is inspected and graded by the USDA, and the "Choice" grade guarantees consistently superior tenderness and flavor to you, the consumer. Many of our natural beef competitors do not even submit their beef to the USDA for grading.

   At Maverick Ranch, our selection system allows only the highest quality Choice cattle to be chosen. The result is Natural Choice Beef, which has just enough fat to ensure a great dining experience while at the same time reducing total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol for a healthier lifestyle.

LABORATORY TESTED FOR YOUR SAFETY

   Today, the natural and organically raised food industries are expanding due to demand from health conscious consumers who realize that a healthy diet can reduce the risks for many chronic diseases. Maverick Ranch is the only natural meat company that utilizes a full time USDA pesticide accredited meat and poultry laboratory to test our products. This lab has three full time departments devoted to:

1. Nutritional Analysis to ensure accurate USDA labeling of our Lite, Lean and Extra Lean products.
   
   
2. Microbiology to assure the safest possible product, plant, and equipment. We monitor continuously for harmful bacteria including E.coli O157:H7.
   
   
3. Residue Testing to detect antibiotics and pesticides. Over 15 years of research has provided us with the data necessary to properly address pesticide use. While pesticides are necessary for the health and comfort of the animal, they can pose serious problems if improperly applied.

   Maverick Ranch processing plants utilize 51 separate safety procedures designed to provide a humane environment for our animals and the highest degree of food safety available today.

LOWEST HORMONE LEVELS, GUARANTEED!

   At Maverick Ranch, we provide the lowest hormone levels possible by using only steers (neutered males) and heifers for our natural beef. Many of our competitors mainly use bulls (non-neutered males) in their beef. Bull beef is cheaper, but because hormone production continues during the entire life of the animal, the final beef product has testosterone and estrogen levels that are 18-20 times higher than in Maverick Ranch Beef. Even soy has nearly 300 times more estrogen than our beef.
