Why does Niman Ranch avoid the use of animal by-products, growth hormones or antibiotics in its feed?
Niman Ranch strives to produce the best tasting, best-for-the-consumer, and best-for-the- planet beef, pork and lamb. Niman believes that the path to this goal is to allow its animals the most natural lifecycle possible. Economics-driven factory farming, in which animals are constrained within small stalls their entire lives and force-fed a chemical soup of animal by-products and chemicals, is harmful to the animals, harmful to the consumer, and a primary cause of agricultural pollution.
