While the cost of quality meats is increasing hand over foot in 2023, we think its worth noting that Cunningham Pastured Meats reporting data substantiates the benefits of purchasing qualify meat. 

What we want our customers to know and to feel confident about is that while they are paying a premium for a premium product, the results of our recent participation in the Bionutrient Institute Beef Study are astounding! The results show that Cunningham Meat profiles are exceptionally high. Especially in the Omega 3 category; these are the Omegas that benefit your brain, heart & digestion.

We are also providing our customers with a meat product that is exceptionally nutrient dense!! 

The Cunningham family takes pride in their 100 year ranching tradition and thanks you for entrusting us with providing you with the healthiest in meat products for your family.

    Halter Collars

    Imagine the American West before fences. Endless grasslands stretched to the horizon, wide open and free. Livestock moved with the rhythm of the land, guided by skilled herders who understood how to work with nature—not against it. There were no steel posts, no wires, no grids—just animals, people, and a shared understanding of movement and timing. This was the original way of livestock management: intentional, responsive, and deeply in tune with the land. Fences, as we know them, are a relatively modern invention—useful, yes, but they’ve also made us more stationary and more separated from that old rhythm. At Cunningham Pastured Meats, we’ve found a way to return to those roots—while stepping into the future. We're excited to announce that we’re implementing virtual fencing through a company called Halter. Using GPS-enabled collars and gentle cues, Halter allows us to move animals exactly where we want them—no wire, no posts, no daily labor of setting up temporary fencing. Instead, we can offer fresh pasture every single day, ensuring the herd always has access to the cleanest, most nutrient-rich feed available. This also means animals no longer backtrack over soiled ground, which improves animal health, grazing efficiency, and soil vitality. What once took hours of manual fencing can now be done with a tap of a screen—giving us more time to focus on care, stewardship, and improving the land. ​See video of us putting collars on our cattle here<<<< Here’s what this means for you: Fresher feed = healthier animals and better quality meat.Daily movement mimics natural grazing, regenerating the land.Less stress, better welfare for the animals.Greater flexibility to adapt to weather, pasture conditions, and herd needs. This is a new chapter for us, and we’re excited to see where it leads. We’ll be learning as we go—and we’ll keep you updated as this journey with virtual fencing unfolds.
