About Us
Hello, we are Bill and Carol Gale. We live in Middleton, Idaho on a small grazing dairy; we also have a hay and beef cow operation in Ontario, Oregon. We have 5 children and 6 grand children.

Bill has been in the dairy business since he was 10. He helped his father milk and finally bought our place here in Middleton in 1980. we decided in 1992 to go to a grazing dairy for the health of the cows. We planted our 72 acres to pasture and over the years have imporved the quality of the grass by trying different varitites finally settling on a four-way mix of Bome, Tall Fesque, Prennial Rye and Alice White Clover.

In 2004 with the passing of Carol's father we took over the family farm in Ontario, Oregon. Thinking to diversify and with the help of a son, who had been working in Nevada for several years, we decided to grow alfalfa and raise beef cattle. We established the Mesquite Cattle Co. LLC in 2006.

In the winter of 2006 we bought an additional 100 acres close to the family farm which we have planted to alfalfa and grass with some wheat. This is where we have our mother cows and baby calves. We are able to track our cattle from birth to your table.

After attending a grass fed beef conference in 2007 we learned how to identify animals for functionality and tenderness. We are using these methods to pick the steers to fatten on grass. We are now artifically breeding our heifers to Devon and Murrey Grey bulls imported from Australia. The Devon and Murrey Grey breeds of cattle are known to perform well on grass. These older genetics or grass genetics out perform modern feed lot style cattle on grass and will fatten in less time.

Our beef is fed home grown or locally grown feed that not been genetically modified. They are not given growth hormones or antibiotics. They are processed at an USDA inspected facility. We offer our beef by the whole, half, split half or by the cut.

The health benefits of eating grass fed beef are numerous but it is the taste and tenderness that will bring you back. We have joined forces with four other grass fed beef producers and formed a new marketing group, our web site is up and running check it out http://www.pastureproper.com/
