Whether used in soups, stews, or slow-cooked dishes, the collagen from oxtail adds body and depth to any recipe.
By choosing our 100% Grass-Fed, needle-free oxtail, you’re embracing nose-to-tail eating, honoring the animal, and making the most of every part—just as our ancestors did. Our cattle are rotationally grazed on nutrient-rich pastures and are never given antibiotics, vaccines, hormones, or unnecessary chemicals, ensuring a clean, tender, and nutrient-rich cut.
Once cooked, the meat can be shredded for savory fillings like tacos, sandwiches, or savory pies, or used in hearty, comforting stews. For added texture and richness, you can sear the meat in tallow or ghee, creating a crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the tender interior.
Traditional Oxtail Recipes Around the World:
- Jamaican Oxtail Stew: A rich, flavorful stew with a mix of aromatic spices, herbs, and vegetables like carrots, onions, and peppers. Often cooked with butter beans for added creaminess and served over rice or with fried plantains.
- Oxtail Soup (Korean Gomtang): A Korean dish where oxtail is simmered for hours in a savory broth, typically with garlic, ginger, and scallions, creating a clear, rich soup that’s usually enjoyed with a bowl of rice.
- Brazilian Oxtail Stew (Rabada): A traditional Brazilian dish where oxtail is slow-cooked with tomatoes, onions, and spices, creating a deep and flavorful stew, often served with rice and collard greens.
- Chinese Oxtail Stew: A Chinese recipe that uses oxtail with soy sauce, star anise, and other aromatic spices, often braised until tender and served with steamed rice or noodles.
- Spanish Oxtail (Rabo de Toro): A rich, slow-braised dish from Spain, often cooked with red wine, tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. It’s a deeply flavorful dish typically served with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
These recipes showcase oxtail’s ability to absorb the flavors of different cuisines, creating deeply savory, satisfying meals.
100% Grass-Fed
Our commitment to 100% grass-fed yak means no grains, no feedlots—ever. Our yak graze freely on nutrient-rich pastures, eating the diet nature intended, which supports their metabolic health and aligns with their natural physiology. In contrast, grain-fed cows and yak are confined to feedlots with limited movement, rapidly fattened on high-energy grain diets that produce excessively fatty meat—far removed from the cuts of meat historically consumed from wild ruminants.
Research shows that grain-fed livestock develop elevated glucose metabolites, triglycerides, and oxidative stress markers, while pasture-finished animals maintain superior metabolic function.
By choosing our 100% grass-fed yak, you’re enjoying a cleaner, more nutrient-dense product that mirrors the meat our ancestors thrived on—free from the endocrine-disrupting pesticides and phytoestrogens often found in conventional grain-fed lamb.
Free of Pharmaceuticals and Toxic Agrochemicals
Healthy animals don’t need pharmaceutical interventions. Our yak are raised in optimal conditions—grazing on fresh pasture, breathing clean air, and regularly moved to new grass, ensuring they aren’t living in their own waste or exposed to toxins. This natural lifestyle eliminates the need for routine antibiotics, vaccines (including mRNA vaccines), hormones, and dewormers. In contrast, conventional feedlot livestock are confined to crowded, unsanitary conditions, requiring constant pharmaceutical support to stay healthy.
By prioritizing regenerative farming practices, our farmers raise resilient yak that rarely get sick. Our animals experience minimal parasite exposure, no stress from confinement, and receive optimal nutrition from diverse pastures that supports their immune function and metabolic health. Our needle-free yak offers pure, wholesome meat—just as nature intended—without the pharmaceutical crutches required by industrial agriculture.
Needle free meat - free of vaccines, antibiotics, hormones & dewormers.
Naturally Lean Protein
Due to their adaptation to high-altitude, cold, and resource-limited environments, yaks efficiently use the food they consume, focusing on muscle development rather than fat storage, resulting in meat that is leaner than many other types of red meat, including beef. Ground yak is typically around 95% lean, yet it remains naturally tender and full of flavor. Traditionally a staple for indigenous communities in harsh regions like the Himalayas, yak meat is prized for its mild, slightly sweet taste.
Much of the yak meat on the market is a cross between yak and beef, bred to combine the hardiness and lean qualities of yaks with the size and faster growth rates of cattle. Pure yak is less common and more expensive because it grows more slowly and takes longer to reach maturity. Our yak meat is 100% pure yak, not a cross with beef, ensuring an authentic flavor without the gamey taste often found in wild meats. It offers a clean, natural taste, perfect for adding a lean and flavorful protein source to meals.
