 If you are interested in becoming a surrogate rancher for the American Criollo
Beef Association, this is the place to start. Raise your calves
the ACBA way, and you can enjoy all of the benefits of Criollo
Cattle, and also have a ready-made market to sell your calves
when the time comes!
Your cattle have to be registered with the American Criollo Beef Association - which means they have DNA scores with qualifying numbers on tenderness and quality, and have the breed characteristics of a Criollo.
You must also raise your cattle on GRASS and HAY ONLY, and without growth hormones,
grain products or antibiotics!. We do not allow cattle into our
beef program that have EVER had grain products, growth hormones
or antibiotics. You will be required to sign an affidavit stating
your cattle were raised in accordance with ACBA requirements.
Our
customers demand to have naturally raised, free-ranging, grass
fed and grass finished beef. Directors of the ACBA are available
for consulation to help you raise the right kind of grasses that
put that rich and distinctive flavor in our Criollo Beef.
The following ranches are suppliers of Criollo Cattle seedstock.
DNA tested and qualified Criollo Cattle from these ranchers
are suitable for inclusion in the ACBA surrogate rancher program:
