What Makes Us Different
Difference You Can Taste
Here at Silva's, we raise our cattle year-round on pasture, allowing them to flourish. Over a century of experience has led us to cross breed Black Angus and Charolais cattle to produce the finest tasting beef.
We feed our cattle wholesome, natural grasses and feeds grown on the ranch, producing the best tasting beef without adding steroids, hormones, or any artificial growth stimulants. We grow our beef longer than other ranches, yielding larger and tastier steaks and we carefully aged the beef after it is harvested so you can savor the best beef available anywhere.

We harvest our cattle weighing approximately 1250 lb with the average carcass weight of 890 lb. The hanging weight is then determined after the animal is harvested and hung. The beef then hangs for 10 - 14 days for optimal dry aging to maximize the taste and tenderness.
