Production
Technologies - Food Safety & Source Verification
BV
Source Verification --
Bela Vista one of the first ranches in the world to put
in place the "BV Source
Verification" program for all its calves. Since 2001, BV
has recorded every action for every calf for perfect Source
Verification of its health & production efficiencies.
Food
Safety -
Bela Vista has developed production technologies that have
led to production safe, healthy beef, free of implants,
hormones, and false protein sources.
Only
natural foods grown on the farm are used to feed the cattle.
Salt and minerals are purchased from Purina Foods,
and mixed right on the farm.
Healthy
Production Methods -
Semi-Feedlots are the fat steers a few months away from
slaughter, are put in 100 acres lots and fed 50% corn & 50%
soja - all produced on the farm.
At
BV, healthy beef for the consuming public takes first priority.
Our sense of community safety is part of our culture. BV
means healthy foods.
