We are a family run ranch rooted in Knoxville, Tennessee. Marcos and Nevin Alonso are the owners, bringing years of hands on cattle experience and a B.S. in Animal Science from Texas A&M. Our family handles all of the daily work on the ranch, and we are honored to bring premium Black Angus beef to your table at a fair price.
Our herd is built on premium Black Angus genetics. Our cattle graze on pastures that we keep pesticide free and supplement with grain as part of a balanced feeding program. We farm with care for the land keeping regenerative practices in mind. Healthy soil, water, and animals matter to us.
We are growing at a steady pace, so availability is limited right now. To keep things fair for neighbors and returning customers, we cap each order at 60 pounds of beef. That way more families can try our beef while quality stays consistent. Our price sheet lists cuts and bundles but we can customize a bundle that fits your needs.
We do not currently ship beef. When you order, we will work out the best place and time to fulfill your order. Our family works full time jobs so scheudling in advance is appreciated!
You don't need a ranching background to understand what we do. Below we discuss breeding, land stewardship, and a simple way we cut down on flies without leaning on extra chemicals.
At Colibri Land & Cattle, we believe great beef starts long before the grill. A big part of that is how we breed cattle. We use artificial insemination, so we match each cow to specific genetics on purpose instead of leaving mating to chance. That helps us raise animals that grow well on feed, make the most of the resources we use, and still deliver the flavor and texture you notice at the table.
In plain terms, we want cattle that turn grass and grain into beef efficiently. This keeps their footprint light, while still giving you rich marbling, tender cuts, and a generous ribeye. All of this does not happen by chance, it starts with the genetics that we choose to implement into our herd.
Another piece you might not expect is fly control. Flies stress cattle and often lead to heavier pesticide use. Not Us! We instead release tiny beneficial wasps that target fly eggs in our environment. They help keep fly numbers in check naturally, so our cattle have a calmer, healthier place to live.
We also use sexed genetics, which nudges the odds toward calves of the sex we need for each job on the ranch. We raise high performing steers for beef and strong replacement heifers for the cow herd so the next generation stays healthy and consistent. That steady approach is how we keep quality up over time instead of leaving it to chance.
All of that sits inside a bigger idea: regenerative ranching, which means we take extra measures when it comes to caring for soil, water, and our pastures so the land can keep supporting cattle and wildlife for decades. Stewardship is not an afterthought here, it is woven into how we run our ranch.
