Today we would like to formally introduce you to our Piedmontese bull Alrigo. Alrigo is Italian for “Ruler of the Estate.” Alrigo or ‘Al’ as we fondly call him is quite a handsome fellow. We think our farm’s lady folk will fall head over hooves (ha ha!) for this dashing young Italian. So far, Al has demonstrated little of the fiery temper legendary with bulls. Various members of our family have had to clear a few fences on this farm to escape the horns of a furious bull. I think everyone around here hopes that Al's family tree contains more Ferdinand’s than "Inferno’s." Time will certainly tell.
Piedmontese is known as one of the most “complete” cattle breeds of today. Alrigo’s ancestors were bred over 25,000 years ago in Italy, but weren’t introduced into the United States until the 1980’s. Grass-fed Piedmontese beef is lower in fat and cholesterol than chicken, but remarkably tender and delicious. We think this beef will be a favorite among individuals who either just love a steak rich in flavor or those who are looking for a lean, high quality beef, healthier than the variety sold in most grocery stores.
Al won't be lonely for long, as we will soon be purchasing our first herd of cattle to join him here at the farm.
