Dear Mr. Jonas,
Thank you for allowing me to visit your ranch and sample your great-tasting, all natural, low cholesterol, low fat beef. You have certainly come up with an idea that could revolutionize the prevention of cardiovascular disease and improve health. Avoiding beef has been one of the strongest recommendations by physicians to patients since cholesterol was found to be a culprit in the development of atherosclerotic disease, which leads to myocardial infarction and stroke. With your beef, we would no longer have to recommend avoiding beef, but would be able to recommend eating Highmont Beef because it has less cholesterol than chicken! By reducing intake of fat and cholesterol, people can reduce weight, thereby decreasing the risk for hypertension, diabetes and atherosclerotic disease. We know that dietary cholesterol isn’t solely responsible for cholesterol levels, as there is a genetic component, but it is clear that in societies that have low dietary intake of cholesterol and saturated (fats), there are lower rates of cardiovascular events. What we eat does matter.
I was quite impressed with the care and feeding of your stock, knowing that they graze on high quality Montana grass, drink clean mountain water, and are supplemented with local hay, as well as oats, mineral supplements and flax. The benefits of flax are well known and more benefits are being discovered all the time. I believe that more people are becoming aware of abused of animals raised for food, with feedlots and the inability of animals to move about freely. Your animals are treated humanely, which counts for a lot in my opinion, and I’m sure, to others as well.
As for the taste of the HighMont Beef, it couldn’t be better. We were so surprised that something so good for you could taste so good, and that there was no toughness or dryness that one may expect from a low fat, low cholesterol product.
The challenge ahead is to get people to understand that something good for them can taste great! In a society where obesity of the young is rampant, and where we are losing trust in the safety and quality of our food, this is a perfect product at the right time.

Dear Mr. Jonas,
I am writing this letter in regards to the HighMont Beef that I have been purchasing from you.
This is the most outstanding tasting beef that I have ever purchased.
The fact that it is Low Fat and Low Cholesterol is wonderful for our residents but in no way is it lacking in flavor. The hamburgers that we have prepared from your ground beef are wonderful. Our assisted living facility will be a continuing customer for you. It gives me great pleasure to know that I am taking one more step for the health and well-being for the residents that trust us to do so. And as you can see I am very excited about this breed of cattle and I am greatly looking forward to doing more business with you and your family. Thank you for all that you are doing.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing this letter on behalf of Blacktail Mountain Ranch. I have been using the quality beef at BMR for about 1 year. I have been very pleased with the lean, flavorful and healthy beef they raise. One of my favorite products is their brisket; it is extremely tender and well received by our customers. Thanks Blacktail Mountain Ranch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
