Every fact, and where we read it
1,722 records behind the scores: what each seller says about its beef, the page we read it on, what we checked and found nothing, and every price change with its source. Nearly all of it is the sellers’ own words; we mark what isn’t. How we use it

Global Animal Partnership — GAP Animal Welfare Certified (any Step): not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). GAP publishes no farm/operation search; its public registry is the 'For Shoppers' list of G.A.P. Certified br…ands and online partners (~58 brand entries, all on one page; /shoppers/page/2/ is empty). Searched that list plus GAP's own site search (admin-ajax autocomplete, which indexes the brand entries) for 'crowd cow', 'crowdcow': no match. Brand-level only, so a seller selling GAP-certified beef under a supplier's brand would not appear. |

A Greener World — Animal Welfare Approved and Certified Grassfed, one farm’s beef only (Autumn’s Harvest Farm): listed (checked 2026-10-06). “Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW, Certified Grassfed by AGW beef from …Autumn’s Harvest Farm and Certified Animal Welfare Approved by AGW pork from Gunthorp Farms is available here.” Listed via Autumn's Harvest Farm: Crowd Cow appears as an OUTLET (Outlet Type: Online Shopping; Category: Beef and Pork; Certified For: Animal Welfare, Grassfed). The certification belongs to the supplying farm (Autumn's Harvest Farm, which has its own AGW directory listing for beef, eggs and pork), so it covers only that farm's beef on Crowd Cow, not Crowd Cow's whole range. The same listing also supports Certified Grassfed by AGW (metric 'grass') for that beef. Listing schema dateModified 2021-06-10, so it may be stale. Pork is from Gunthorp Farms (AWA). No other Crowd Cow listings found. |

American Grassfed Association — AGA Certified Grassfed: not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Not in AGA's 'Find A Certified AGA Producer' directory. That page embeds a kViewer list, and all 94 records came back from…its records API. We searched farm name, contact, email and website for the seller's name. 11 records show no farm name; their map points fall in IA/WI/IN/MI/AR/OK/NY, so they can't be tied to any seller. No AGA record names Crowd Cow, so a certified farm it may resell doesn't count. |

Audubon Conservation Ranching — Audubon Certified bird-friendly land: not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Not in Audubon's 'ACR Enrolled Retailers' layer, the ArcGIS map embedded on Audubon's 'Where To Buy Bird-Fri…endly Beef & Bison' page. We pulled all 2,736 records through the layer's query API (last edited 2026-08-28) and searched the Retailer, Brand, Source Ranch, Website and Address fields. Audubon's public enrolled-ranches layer gives no ranch names, so ranches can't be matched. The listing doesn't name Crowd Cow, so a certified ranch it may resell doesn't count. |

Land to Market (Savory Institute) — Ecological Outcome Verified (Land to Market Verified): not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Not among the 62 member-brand logos on Land to Market's public /members page. It has no…landtomarket.com/partners/ profile and no hit in landtomarket.com site search. Caveats: the page claims '100+ members brands' but shows 62. It uses the old site nav and isn't linked from the current homepage. LTM says its live list of verified brands is visible only after a portal login. savory.global returned HTTP 403 to every request, so Savory's own pages weren't checked. No LTM page names Crowd Cow. |

Hormones Certifier check |
USDA NHTC Program — Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) approved source (EU export verification): not listed for beef (checked 2026-10-06). Searched the AMS 'Official Listing of Approved Sources of Non-Hormone Treated Catt…le' (linked from ams.usda.gov/services/imports-exports/nhtc; Last Revised April 25, 2025; 14 approved sources: AzTx Cattle Co., BeefTraxx, Big Blue Sale Barn, EarthClaims, Elite Beef Producers, FSNS Certification & Audit, IMI Global (Where Food Comes From), Legacy Verified, Lindsay Ranch, M&R Cattle Company, Morgan Ranch, Ranchers Connecting Ranchers, Samson LLC, TechniTrack). No match by brand or parent. Caveat: individual farms/ranches enrolled under these cattle-management-group programs are listed on FSIS PartnerShare, which is not public; the 'NHTC Supplier List' .xls linked on the AMS page is a blank template. So a seller's cattle could be NHTC-enrolled through a CMG without appearing on this public list. |
