For the first time, chefs and restaurants on the West Coast can offer locally produced Certified Angus Beef. The brand is now offered by Harris Ranch, a family-owned company with a 50-year history of farming and ranching in California’s fertile Central Valley. Attendees of the Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo in Los Angeles will be able to taste Certified Angus Beef from Harris Ranch at booth 1907 from August 27-29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Harris Ranch holds true to its mission to deliver the highest quality California-grown beef with the launch of the partnership with the Certified Angus Beef brand. Only 1 in 4 Angus cattle are able to meet the 10 standards required to earn the Certified Angus Beef brand. Only the best of the Choice and Prime grades is considered for the premium label, and they must pass the brand’s 10 science-based specifications for quality. Then independent, unbiased graders from the U.S. Department of Agriculture decide which beef makes the cut.
