Hi,

We just put a deposit on some of your beef. The website is great! Just wanted you to know. We have good friends in California who have been raising "natural" lamb in the California delta for 20 years. Thanks to you for doing this. We forwarded your website to them.

Hallo Eric and Jean! Wow! a lot of changes at the double check!! Great website. Remember me, an old woofer from 2003.. Had a great time and a picture of me and jean tackling a calf is still hanging up the wall. Everything is good in Holland, I'm working for CITES, international conservation of endangered species so everything turned out just like I hoped. All the best to you all... Gea

Dear Sarah and Paul,

Just had to tell you! We had the shoulder roast last night for newly arrived guests from Florida. They are not real "foodies" like I am, so I was thrilled when they complimented the beef: "best roast we ever had." It was an "out of this world" taste sensation. I have also had the ground beef -- same taste treat. Now we are totally spoiled! Thank you for your great contribution to our health and well being. See you soon.

Dear Sarah and Paul,
The dinner Sunday was so perfect, I couldn't stop thinking about it all day Monday. Thank you so much for doing it for us. And besides the food, you both are such good communicators, fun to listen to.

With best wishes for your continued success!

Hey guys!

Bobby noticed your (Paul and Sarah's) article in the Zoomie News! I remember Paul telling me about the ranch when we were at the Academy, but I never realized the scope. I was telling Bobby how the two of you don't follow anyone else's expectations and that is SO refreshing! Congrats on the great things you're doing! We're PCSing this summer (don't know where or when yet), but if we're heading west, we'd like to drop in and see the three of you. Can't believe that Katherine is already 8 months old! Blane just turned 20 months old yesterday...where does the time go?!? We wish you the very best and may you see all of God's blessings in your lives! :)

Great web site--need more on Sarah and Paul and their little cowboy. I'm an '86 grad and retired pilot. My wife is an '87 grad. We have no herd of our own but, we do manage 5 boys with the oldest on his way to USAFA to play football.

Will you trade a sample of your beef for some of our wild Alaska Salmon? Small quantity only for the fun of it. Either way, thanks for the website and good luck to you guys--go Falcons!

Good Luck with your ranch. I am from class of 64, "Fighting Fourth" Squadron. I live in Las Vegas and Sedona. Building a camp there for chronically ill children (One of the Hold In the Wall Gang camps tha Paul Newman started years ago). Maybe we will be buying some of your beef for these unfortunate children. We feed about 300 people three times a day in the summer.

A friend has shown us that eating store bought meats is not the healthy way to go. So I am looking at web-sites for possible grass feed meat in Arizona. We live in Peoria Arizona but go to visit my Mom in Clifton Arizona a few times a year. Is it possible to visit your ranch and pick up meat at that time or do you exclusively sell at the farmers markets? Also, do you have prices we could look at? Thank you for doing ranching to right way!!

I notice there is a listing for pet foods. I feed my rat terriers (10 of them) a raw meat/bone diet and am always looking for sources. What is in the pet food you currently have? Is there any bone? Do you have the capability of grinding bone (as in the short ribs)?I have two other families here in Coolidge who also feed raw and we are currently purchasing through a small butcher in Surprise with a once a month delivery to a co-op location in Mesa.Since you are also located in Pinal County, I would be delighted to pick up right from the ranch or make some type of arrangement to get to the farmer's market in Oracle.
Let me know.

I have purchased your beef at two local farmers' markets as often as possible and think it is the most flavorful I have ever tasted! I think your message, your mission and your practices are so very right on. We NEED independent ranchers and farmers to continue to do what they do best - raise healthy and tasteful food and at the same time raise awareness of where and how we can buy local.
Please, keep up the good work and I hope to see you at the UA farmer's market soon!

Hello. Last Sunday we visited you at the Farmer'sMarket at St. Phillips. I was so happy and surprised to find you - as I've been looking for quality grassfed products - that I spent my entire allowance with you! Paul was so very nice. I am so happy to find you! And now that I've read your website, I am even more impressed! What a wonderful thing you have going. I'm smiling just knowing there are people like you in the world and I can feed my family wholesome untainted meals using your beef. I look forward to doing more business with you! Thank you so much for what you are doing. -vanessa

Thank you so much for your clear, articulate, informative letter in the Tucson Weekly (Jan.3-9 2008). I was absolutely disgusted by the assertions of our "regulating officials". I am sick to death of industry trying to ratchet up the profit by the continued over-processing of our foods. I suspect these heavy-handed policies of our local boards and departments are directly related to who writes campaign checks: big industry. Political absurdities aside, I would like to thank you for contributing to our communities' and our individual health. Farmers and ranchers who bring locally produced food to our tables are our best hope for a truly sustainable future. I know "sustainability" is now a trendy buzzword, but without good stewards of the land, we cannot sustain. Period.
With much gratitude,
Sarah
