Our Bully Sticks come from Free Range Brazilian cattle that graze on the lush, green fields of Brazil and drink from fresh, clear, sparkling springs and streams. They are given NO hormones, NO antibiotics, and NO animal by products are added to their diets like U.S. and Canadian cattle that are kept in feed lots. Brazilian cattle are internationally known as "green cattle" because they are raised free-range. All meat products exported by Brazil are first inspected by the country's Ministry of Agriculture in accordance with international sanitation standards. All treats are manufactured in our own facilities in Brazil. All products are inspected at all stages of manufacturing, and meet all the strict USDA standards.
