The establishment website describes Road 39 Ranch as a 1,500 acre farm and ranch at about 7,000 feet in the Mancos River Valley in the Four Corners area, growing hay, cattle, apples, grain, and goats. The site states the ranch processes its own livestock in an on-farm USDA inspected facility and also processes livestock for other local ranchers and farms. It describes a closed cattle herd whose animals are born and raised on the farm, fed only grass, and harvested on site without feed lots, hormones, or commercial feed rations. The processing page states that each animal is handled as a single lot from harvest through aging, processing, and packaging, that pens are fully enclosed, and that meat is completely frozen and packaged in new boxes.
