Piedmontese

We have recently acquired a Piedmontese bull and cow from the Leachman Cattle Company. These are part of the Leachman Montana Range™ venture. Montana Range™ is a unique beef product that has the following characteristics:

Montana Range Brand

  • As lean as skinless chicken
  • More tender than Angus beef
  • Higher yielding than any other carcass breed
  • Carcass gene verifiable by convenient DNA test
  • Over 75% of the calves hit the carcass target
  • Hormone free and antibiotic free
  • Exclusive USDA certificate for Certified Piedmontese Beef
Research has shown that the Myostatin allele (an existing natural gene found in many beef breeds) produces beef that is leaner, more tender, and higher yielding. The Piedmontese breed is homozygous for the Myostatin gene. It maintains moderate birth weights and acceptable calving ease when used in crossbreeding.
