Traceability

Know Exactly Where Your Food Comes From

Raised with transparency

Traceable Today. More Connected Tomorrow.

Traceability at Tangen Draw starts with knowing the animal behind every package, how it was raised, and the life it lived before reaching your table. Each animal in our program is individually identified and tracked, with that identity maintained through processing so every steak and pound of ground stays connected to a single source animal.

Today, those records are maintained by Tangen Draw behind the scenes. We’re working toward a future where customers can access more of that individual animal history directly, creating an even clearer connection between the ranch and your table.

Individual Identification

Each animal is given an individual identity (ear tag). This creates the foundation for a record that stays connected to that animal throughout its life.
A Documented Life History

We maintain records associated with each animal, giving us a clear and accountable history from the ranch forward.
Identity Maintained Through Processing

The animal’s identity is printed on meat labels during processing. This allows the finished cuts to remain connected to the animal they came from.
Traceable Packaged Beef

Every steak and every pound of ground beef can be traced back to one individual animal—not simply a group of cattle or an unidentified supply chain.

One animal, one history.

Behind every package is an animal with a history

Our records allow us to follow each animal through the important stages of its life, creating a direct connection between the ranch, the animal, and the finished product. This means your beef does not come from an unknown or anonymous supply chain. You can feel confident knowing that it came from an animal raised with intention and care.

Raised With Care. Backed by Records.

For us, traceability is more than a tracking system. It represents the responsibility we accept when raising animals and producing food for your family. We believe transparency builds trust. By maintaining the connection between each animal and every package, we can provide something increasingly rare: the story behind your food.
