Today we're celebrating the golden paintbrush, and its official removal from the federal list of endangered and threatened plants. We played one small part in the propagation of the golden paintbrush as part of the Western SARE project, which established golden paintbrush on native prairie habitat at Colvin Ranch.
Not all ground beef is the same. Here's what you need to know about ground beef from Colvin Ranch.
In the matchup between rib steak vs. ribeye, there are no losers, only winners - because either way you get a great steak. The rib steak and ribeye are basically the same cut, except that the rib steak includes the bone and the ribeye is boneless.

When you buy from your local farmer and rancher in Washington, you get fresh, quality food, and you keep money in your community to make your community better.
In 2005, Colvin Ranch was the first in Washington to participate in the USDA's Grassland Reserve Program, ensuring that the prairie would be preserved forever. "What I like to tell people is when your grandchildren's grandchildren come out here, it will pretty much look like it does today."
Colvin Ranch is located on a unique prairie habitat that’s home to rare and endangered plants and animals. At one time, prairies covered more than 180,000 acres in Southwest Washington. Less than 3% of the native prairie habitat remains today, which makes conservation efforts even more important.
We make every effort to ensure that our animals are healthy. At Colvin Ranch, we have protocols in place for managing herd and individual animal health. As Fred likes to say, “we vaccinate to keep healthy cattle healthy.”
Barbecue season is year-round for us at the ranch. We grill outside all year, and the weather has to be pretty miserable for us to give up on the grill and pan-fry a steak - not that there's anything wrong with cooking a steak indoors and we have several cast iron pans just for that purpose. But by default, we pretty much always turn on the grill.
