Seth Griffin

 

Seth Griffin is a 28-year-old full time, self-employed, Arkansas-born and raised cattle farmer and rancher. Seth is about as passionate as it comes when talking about the cattle industry. He is always working and researching to increase his knowledge on cattle production and land maintenance to grow cattle in the most sustainable, natural, and consistent way possible.

Seth was born and raised in a cattle farming family and gladly spent the majority of his childhood and teenage years working cattle, feeding cattle, driving tractors, fixing fence, and soaking up all the knowledge he could from his grandpa, his dad, and his uncles. In high school, Seth was active in FFA and took as many agricultural classes as he was able.

Today, you’ll find him tending to his cattle or on the phone talking to people about his cattle, usually a combination of both!

He is married to his lifelong sweetheart, Casey, and together they have three children. Casey was also raised by a farming family. Seth and Casey have over 1,300 acres of land for their cattle herds, and they take great care to control the grounds where the bovine are born and raised. Note: all calves are nursed by their mothers until weaned.

Combining their knowledge, Seth and Casey have spent the last few years growing, feeding, and harvesting their own beef and have achieved wholesome, natural, hormone and antibiotic free, delicious meat that they want to share with the country!

Transparency in every aspect of beef production is something they will always promise to maintain, and they believe in feeding their own family and yours qualify beef!
