Quality assessment
DOWNGRADE. Cedar River Farms Natural Beef is a PRODUCT LINE of JBS USA — an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of JBS S.A., the world's largest animal-protein processor. There is no Cedar River farm. The 'Natural' designation is a USDA labelling term (minimally processed, no artificial ingredients) that says nothing about how the animal was raised, and the specific raising protocol behind this label was not located in any public source.

Caveats
DOWNGRADE: Rare Society menus 'Cedar River Prime Bullseye Ribeye'. 'Prime' is a USDA GRADE (a marbling assessment), not a practice or a producer. Combined with a JBS house brand, this line carries essentially zero provenance information despite reading like a farm name. Do not score as a named-farm claim.
JBS USA's 'Natural Beef' brand, headquartered in Greeley, Colorado; markets Angus beef raised without added hormones or antibiotics as a retail/foodservice natural-beef program.
