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 'four sixes', '6666': no match. Brand-level only, so a seller selling GAP-certified beef under a supplier's brand would not appear. |

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. The only '6666' hit is Manna Farms' street address (6666 Stoddard Hayes Road, Farmdale OH). It is unrelated. |

Audubon's public enrolled-ranches layer gives no ranch names, so ranches can't be matched. |

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.

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 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. |
