Why do we sell pasture-raised meats?
In 2010 newly married Sean and Liz returned to the family ranch to continue on the 100-year family tradition of raising cattle on the rugged Eastern Oregon high desert. Sean's father had been raising natural grass-fed cattle for decades and when Liz came to the ranch she noticed that there was a shortage of quality grass-fed beef in the Treasure Valley. Never having eaten grass-fed beef in her life she felt that the quality of the meat was too good to only have in their freezer and decided to start making it available to families in the Treasure Valley. Since the beginning of Cunningham Pastured Meats, they have added several other producers to add several other types of products such as Grass-fed beef, bison & lamb, pasture-raised pork & chicken, wild-caught seafood, and several other quality products.

Preserving the Land
As you can see the Treasure Valley is booming with development and everyday we are seeing precious farmland being sold into development, this is land we can never get back again and it's going away at an alarming rate. Our goal as ranchers is to keep our 100 year old family ranch the way it is; a small family ranch. As a rancher we are called to be a steward of the land and manage our animals in a way the enhances and restores the land.

SeanThe Cowboy (4th generation)
SeanThe Cowboy (4th generation)Sean is the 4th generation on Cunningham Ranch. His passion for ranching and taking care of livestock was apparent from the time he was 10 years old. Sean's dream has always been to grow up and manage the family ranch, which is the dream he is living now! His stewardship of the land and livestock is his driving force behind what he loves to do.
LizMarketing & Sales
LizMarketing & SalesLiz is the wife to Sean and didn't know a thing about the west or ranching before they met! Growing up the in suburbs, Liz didn't know much about ranching, but always loved large animals and the country, so it was a match made in heaven when Liz and Sean met. After some health issues early in their marriage, Liz noticed it was difficult for find good sources of quality meat for those who do not raise their own food. So she took her marketing skills from college and started Cunningham Pastured Meats.

Grass Fed Beef
Grass Fed BeefCattle: Our beef are raised by their mothers where they get unlimited mothers milk and high quality grass. Between 6 months of age and one year we wean the calves from their momma’s and they eat high quality pasture. The pastures on the ranch are a mix of wild meadow grass, clover and non-gmo alfalfa, we do not use chemical fertilizers or herbicides. We use low-stress handling techniques on our cattle. They never receive any grains, antibiotics or growth hormones. All cattle that are sourced from other ranches meet our protocols listed above.
Pastured Pork
Pastured PorkPigs: There are few things more delicious then a well-raised pig. Pastured pork is hard to come by because pigs are difficult to raise in more arid environments. They are designed to be in forests tilling up the soft ground with their noses looking for nuts and acorns, but out here in the west, we don’t have this perfect pig paradise, but we do our best to allow pigs to still be pigs! Our pigs are raised outside on pasture and allowed to graze our grass and alfalfa. However, it’s not possible for us to raise pigs without grain, so their main diet consists of barley and peas (all non-GMO feeds). These piggies have NEVER been given hormones or antibiotics. Due to their natural destructive nature (using their noses to root the soil up) we use humane nose rings, which protects the delicate soil structure, while still allowing pigs to root, but just not as deep. Not many people are willing to raise pastured pigs and consequently raise them on confined concrete pads. So try our pastured pork and be amazed at the complexity of flavor that only a pig that’s been on pasture can produce.
Pasture Raised Chickens
Pasture Raised ChickensOur pasture raised chickens are on pasture from the time they are 3 weeks old up until the they are harvested between 6-8 weeks old. They are fed a non-GMO feed ration and are free to eat lots of grass and bugs! These chickens are very juicy and full of flavor! No hormones, antibiotics or other junk! Just great tasting chicken.-
Grass Fed Lamb
Grass Fed LambLambs: Our lamb comes from our small hair-sheep flock. The lamb is typically between 9-12 months of age when they are prime for harvest. From the moment they are born they are on grass, weeds and leafy plants. Lambs are typically twins, triplets and sometimes quadruplets! We never use grain supplements, antibiotics, de-wormers or hormones. We love our lambs! They are robust and easy to raise, not to mention extremely delicious!
