INDIAN VALLEY — The USDA has awarded a Value-Added Producer Grant to Weiser River Signature Beef LLC, headquartered in rural Indian Valley, Idaho. This grant will enable owners Victor and Christy Ward to expand brand recognition for Weiser River Signature Beef in the Treasure and Weiser River Valleys, as well as establish a marketing and sales campaign that will increase development and production.
Weiser River Signature Beef LLC grows its own beef and utilizes that of other Idaho ranchers who raise livestock in Weiser, Midvale, Cambridge, Indian Valley, Council, and New Meadows. Their beef is made up of Angus, Hereford, and Simmental cross-bred livestock pastured on the fertile lands of theWeiser River Valley.
Because of the local nature of its operation, Weiser River Signature Beef LLC can verify the Age and Source on each and every animal that goes through its program. All of its livestock have “low mileage”, which means they travel less miles to the consumer. The beef is finished in Weiser, where they eat wholesome, natural corn, chopped hay, and grain. After finishing in Weiser, the beef is processed in Nampa, aged for a minimum of seven to 14 days, and then is available to consumers via local retail grocery outlets, restaurants, and direct marketing.
