Week after week, 12 million pounds of boneless red meat is provided by roughly 20,000 Cactus cattle and about 14,000 Cactus pigs provide 2 million pounds of ham, bacon and more. That means 56 million meals are shipped out every week to people in the community and beyond.
Cactus Feeders has focused on being sustainable in order to truly provide food for a rapidly blooming populace. Around the year 2050, the need for food around the world will rise 100%. Thanks to gradual improvements across the food industry, animals are safer and less are need to produce food thanks to methods that significantly decrease methane made by those animals. This uses far less land and makes the protein safer to send out and enjoy.
Cactus Feeders is dedicated to feeding people with a better standard of beef and pork, especially beef and pork they can afford to purchase. When the year 2030 comes, about three billion people will be considered middle class. Affordable beef and pork that maintains that high quality is a must with a growing population.
Cactus Feeders is doing their best to reach consumers with protein they can enjoy and Cactus works to use less in a way that’s cost-effective. This way, families will be able to get the best beef and pork they can without having to break the bank.
