Bringing you safe, quality meats!

To help meet the growing demand for meats raised with naturally sustainable methods, we have formed a partnership with like-minded family farmers as livestock producers; Thundering Hooves Producer Alliance.
These farmer-producers -- most we have known for many
years -- have agreed to adhere to our production requirements,
including that their animals have been fed 100% natural
diets of grasses and legumes, have not been given hormones
or antibiotics and have been raised in healthy environments.
In fact, all Thundering Hooves producers have signed
an affidavit, which states their adherence to Thundering
Hooves production protocols.
By signing this affidavit, producers declare that the livestock,
purchased by Thundering Hooves, throughout their lives
from birth to the date of purchase:
- Have never been raised in a feedlot or similar
environment (does not apply to mono-gastric pigs)
- Have never been fed sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics
- Have never been administered hormones or other
growth enhancers
- Have never had access to protein supplements that
contain animal by-products
- Have never been fed grain or grain by-products
(does not apply to mono-gastric pigs)
- Have been raised and handled humanely
- Are in general good health and free from any apparent
injury or disease as determined through visual appraisal
- Were born on their farm or on a farm under their
management and control
And the final point stated is that the owner / seller
has direct knowledge of the facts stated in the affidavit.
The quality and food safety of Thundering Hooves products
will only improve as we continue to raise the bar on
all levels of animal production, meat processing and
food safety.
Thank you.
-- The Huesby Family
