Discover the Steninger Difference
-
Naturally Raised
Nestled at the base of the Ruby Mountains, our cattle thrive in an environment as pure as nature intended. This landscape offers more than breathtaking views. It allows our herds to graze freely and grow at a natural pace. The use of growth stimulants is completely foregone in favor of time-honored agricultural practices that prioritize wellbeing and sustainability.
The result? Beef that's not only healthier but distinguished by its superior taste. The absence of artificial enhancers ensures that each cut from Steninger Ranching beef retains a flavor profile that is as authentic as its source. This, we believe, is the "Steninger Standard" – a promise of quality, purity, and taste that sets our beef apart.

Mountain Grazed Beef
In our mountain pastures, our cattle roam freely, unbound by the confines of feedlots and untouched by growth hormones or stimulants. Their diet is enriched with alfalfa and corn during the finishing phase, enhancing their nutrition and ensuring the meat’s tenderness and flavor. This approach not only produces beef that's leaner and more flavorful but also beef that's nutritionally superior — lower in fat and calories, yet richer in essential vitamins like beta-carotene and Vitamin E.
The difference in taste and quality is unmistakable when compared to conventional, store-bought beef. What sets our beef apart even further is the transparency and traceability we offer. In today's market, understanding exactly where your beef comes from is not just a privilege but a reassurance.

Our home
Nestled in the heart of Lamoille, Nevada, the Ruby Mountains are a jewel of natural beauty and splendor. Known affectionately as the "Alps of Nevada," this mountain range stretches skyward, offering breathtaking vistas, crystal-clear streams, and a diverse ecosystem. The Rubies, as locals call them, provide a pristine backdrop to Steninger Ranch, providing the land with not just scenic beauty but a unique alpine climate that contributes to the lush, nutritious pastures our cattle graze on. The Ruby Mountains are more than just a location; they are a living, breathing part of our ranch's identity, offering a sanctuary where our cattle thrive, and where the connection between land, animal, and rancher is deepened. In Lamoille, the Ruby Mountains stand as a testament to nature's majesty, and at Steninger Ranching, they are the foundation of our commitment to quality, natural beef.
