I had stopped eating meat because I lost trust in the meat industry. Owning a quarter of a cow through Yolo Fill Co. changed everything. Knowing exactly how it was raised and by whom brought beef back into our freezer.

Sarah B.

Customer

My farm is now able to compete with the industrial food system but with Yolo Fill Co., I can connect with customers who want more transparency and traceability.

Thaddeus B

Birth

March 2025

This calf was conceved in the summer of 2024 and was birthed in the hills northwest of Winters, CA in spring of 2025

Responsible Operation

Economics

At this point they are so dependent of their mother they are refered to as a “pair” and the cost to keep one pair on irrigated pasture is $110 per month. There is about 1 calf per year, so the value is $110 * 12 = $1,320 to make one calf.

Shots, Castration and Branding

July 2025

When the calf is a few months old it receives basic vacinations to preserve herd health, worm medication, an ear tag, a brand and if it is male, a tight rubber band around its testicles – stopping the flow to them and casuing them to eventually fall off.

Summer Feed

Weaning

November 2025

When the calf is about 5 months old and about 500 lb, it is seperated from its mother. The males are castrated and turn in to “feeder steers” the females “heifers” (a female who has not yet had a baby) are kept or sold as breeding stock.

Responsible Operation

Hungry Hollow Cattle Company

Economics

At this point feeder steers and heifers as subject to market value which fluxuates greatly dependent upon many factors. In the conventional system these animals are auctioned off on satalite video, loaded into trucks and agrigated in feed lots across the nation. For the benefit of your animal and your rancher, we do not do that and stick wtih the $110 per month it took to care for the cow/calf pair to this point.

Winter Feed

November 2025 – April 2026

It is too cold for pastrures to grow enough to feed the steer. While we wait for the grass on the hill to grow and for enough rain water to fill the streams the steer goes to a holding facility where it is fed a mix of hay, almond hulls and grains. By December the hills have enough grass and water to sustain the herd and they are moved to Smith Flat Ranch were they will stay until the grass and water dry out in the Spring of 2026

Responsible Operation

Economics

At this point the cost of care of the steer is still $110 per month, but he is no longer a pair with his mother but an individual aninmal.
