As an independent cattle feeder, I grew disillusioned with selling into a highly concentrated market, so in 2000 I founded Ranch Foods Direct to market source-identified beef and similar products directly to consumers. I wanted to provide the best eating experience possible, so we began breeding Wagyu-Angus cross calves that have a high level of intramuscular marbling and using only natural production methods.

Ranch Foods Direct consists of a fabrication plant and retail store in Colorado Springs. We have a wholesale business supplying local restaurants and school cafeterias. We sell some of our beef through a farmers market in Denver. We also use our website as a marketing tool and started a home delivery service last year.

Consumers want to know where their food comes. I do everything I can to facilitate a revival of local food systems. Ranch Foods Direct provides custom processing, packaging and private labeling for about 40 cattle and buffalo producers. In addition to Callicrate Beef, the retail store sells other meats, eggs, milk, produce and various food items from small family farmers. Ranch Foods Direct is a founding member of the Peak to Plains Alliance, a unique food and agritourism venture designed to educate consumers about our agricultural heritage in the Colorado Springs area. This spring I took a position on the board of directors for the Catamount Institute, a local sustainability group. I believe that allowing too-big-to-fail corporations to dominate our economy is unhealthy and unsustainable. I want to be part of the movement that is creating an alternative, allowing consumers to do business directly with farmers and select food that is fresher, healthier and comes with a positive story behind it.

Three generations of the Myrin family have built the ranch to its current state. We practice sustainable production methods and work hard to improve the land resources. Our ranch provides habitat for a large variety of wildlife.

All of our cows and calves are born and raised on our ranch, located near the southern slope of the Uintah Mountains 5 miles from Altamont, Utah. They are pasture and range raised.

We now offer our Dry Aged, USDA inspected Natural Grassfed Beef directly to the public. Our beef may be purchased by the individual cut, variety package or by the Half/Whole. It is available from us at Farmer's Markets or through various retail outlets. (Visit www.cmrbeef.com/products for locations)
