Take a look at how we raised grass-fed beef at Cunningham Pastured Meats

On Pasture

At Cunningham Pastured Meats, we take great pride in raising the best grass-fed and finished beef. We move our cattle frequently and use temporary fencing to assure that they have the best available grass to graze on. Our beautiful meadows are diverse in grass, clover, and legumes and naturally fertilized by our cattle. 

Our Cattle 

Our animals are handled in a humane and low-stress manner and we find that they thrive under these conditions. When choosing which cattle are ready for harvest, we are very careful in our selection. We look for a broad, thick frame all the way through from the rump to the shoulders. We also look for fat deposits, which is a sure sign that the beef is ready. 

Our Promise

It is important to know where your meat is coming from and how it was raised. Here at Cunningham Pastured Meats you can rest assured that you are getting the healthiest and best-raised beef in the Treasure Valley.

    Halter Collars

    Imagine the American West before fences. Endless grasslands stretched to the horizon, wide open and free. Livestock moved with the rhythm of the land, guided by skilled herders who understood how to work with nature—not against it. There were no steel posts, no wires, no grids—just animals, people, and a shared understanding of movement and timing. This was the original way of livestock management: intentional, responsive, and deeply in tune with the land. Fences, as we know them, are a relatively modern invention—useful, yes, but they’ve also made us more stationary and more separated from that old rhythm. At Cunningham Pastured Meats, we’ve found a way to return to those roots—while stepping into the future. We're excited to announce that we’re implementing virtual fencing through a company called Halter. Using GPS-enabled collars and gentle cues, Halter allows us to move animals exactly where we want them—no wire, no posts, no daily labor of setting up temporary fencing. Instead, we can offer fresh pasture every single day, ensuring the herd always has access to the cleanest, most nutrient-rich feed available. This also means animals no longer backtrack over soiled ground, which improves animal health, grazing efficiency, and soil vitality. What once took hours of manual fencing can now be done with a tap of a screen—giving us more time to focus on care, stewardship, and improving the land. ​See video of us putting collars on our cattle here<<<< Here’s what this means for you: Fresher feed = healthier animals and better quality meat.Daily movement mimics natural grazing, regenerating the land.Less stress, better welfare for the animals.Greater flexibility to adapt to weather, pasture conditions, and herd needs. This is a new chapter for us, and we’re excited to see where it leads. We’ll be learning as we go—and we’ll keep you updated as this journey with virtual fencing unfolds.
