Some folks argue about this like it’s religion and politics at Thanksgiving. But here at 2 Coots Ranch, we’re not here to blow smoke — we’re here to feed people real beef the right way. And the truth? Both grass-finished and grain-finished can be ethical, nutrient-dense, and raised regeneratively — if you actually give a darn about how you do it. And yes we do!
You’ve probably noticed it too: the way we get our food is changing, and not always for the better. Supermarket shelves full of mystery meat, “Product of USA” labels that don’t mean a darn thing, and family farms selling out because they can’t keep up with big corporations.
You ever notice how the loudest folks preaching “plant-based only” are usually the same ones who look like they’d lose a wrestling match with a garden hose? Bless their hearts. Listen, I don’t have a “beef” with fruits and veggies — they’ve got their place on the plate. But let’s not forget: your brain is a hungry critter, and it doesn’t run on kale smoothies.
Physically strong, mentally sharp, and truly nourished. That starts with food raised the way nature intended: on grass, in sunshine, and without shortcuts. You may have heard that pasture-raised food is “healthier,” but let’s break it down. What does that really mean?

Whether you're fully carnivore or just curious, the message is the same: 🥚 Animal-based nutrition works. People are turning to the carnivore diet to support everything from weight loss and inflammation to mental clarity and gut health. By cutting out irritating foods and focusing on nutrient-dense animal foods, many are experiencing dramatic improvements in energy, skin, digestion, and focus. But here’s the thing: 👉 Not all meat is created equal.
