North Shore Cattle Company featured its premium grass-fed beef on the KITV Morning Show.  From left, Ryan Lum, Dan Meisenzahl, Kay Lum and Ben Gutierrez say, "Cheeseburger."  Kay also made a batch of her Cowboy Bourbon Stew - see the recipe below.

The North Shore Cattle Company (NSCC) was established in 1997 by former state veterinarian Dr. Cal Lum and his wife, Kay.  The family-run operation includes son, Ryan; daughter Tammy; and even grandchildren.

The ranch maintains between 400 and 250 head of cattle on 1,400 acres on the North Shore of Oahu.

The demand for NSCC beef is stronger than ever. With Hawaii's top chefs and restaurants requesting the premium beef, it is often difficult to find it at just any supermarket.  NSCC beef can be found at the KCC Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings and the Kailua Farmer Market on Thursday evenings.  NSCC beef will also be returning to Tamura's Markets in Wahiawa and Hauula.

NSCC will also bring their beef to your door, with on-line ordering.  Just to to their website at:  http://www.beefhawaii.com/
