PBJ Cattle Company is a family-owned and -operated cattle company nestled in the rolling plains of Divide, Colorado. The ranch is run by the father-daughter-combo of Bob Burton and his daughter, Jessy.
As a retired firefighter from the Colorado Springs Fire Department, Bob Burton understands the value of perseverance and unbridled passion. Bob has been helping fellow Coloradans with their cattle for years. And eventually, he decided to turn that passion into action when he started his own ranch. What began with just six cattle is now a widely successful cattle company in Divide, Colorado with hundred of cows and yaks.
As a family-run cattle company, PBJ Cattle Company is all about treating everyone like family — especially our cows and yaks. PBJ Cattle Company utilizes Temple Grandin humane practices to ensure that all of our cows and yaks are treated with respect and cared for properly.
And the result? Higher quality beef for you and your family. Our high-altitude grass-fed beef is not only packed with more flavor, but also with more nutrition. High-altitude grass diets produce less fat and more protein, resulting in healthier meat on your dinner plate. Not only that, but our cows and yaks are never pumped with harmful hormones or steroids of any kind. They also never experience serious spikes of adrenaline. That means your beef will always be free of hormones, steroids, and adrenaline.
Less stress and additives mean more nutrition and more flavor. What more could you ask for?
