Our Products
Retail Cuts
Our premium beef starts with high quality animals we focus on breeds like shorthorn, angus, hereford or crossbred cattle that use these breeds as part of their breeding program because these british breeds excel in carcass quality traits like marbling, flavor and tenderness. They are fed grass/pasture when they are young but are finished on grain and hay for premium flavor, marbling and tenderness. We do occasionally have grass fed beef for those who prefer grass fed.

FAQs
Is your beef free from added hormones and antibiotics?
Yes, we do not use any added growth hormones in our beef. There is no antibiotics in the beef, antibiotics may occasionally be used if an animal is sick but they would not be processed until well after the withdrawl period is complete.
Is your beef grass fed or grain fed?
Both! Most of our beef would be considered grass fed grain finished, meaning that while animals are young they eat primarily grass and hay, after weaning they transition to mostly grain fed (for premium marbling, tenderness and flavor) but do still have access to grass hay. We do occasionally have 100% grass fed beef available.
What's the difference between grass fed and grain fed beef?
Grass fed is typically leaner with less marbling and is higher in omega 3. Grain fed typically has more marbling and is higher in omega 6. Both options are packed with protein, vitamin B and other vital nutrients.
Does your bulk beef price include processing?
No, you will pay the processor directly for their proscessing fees at pick up. We do this because our processor offers a lot of options for you to choose from (like patties, tenderizing, smokies, jerky, seasonings, etc...) some options add additional cost. We don't want to restrict any of these options from our customers but the prices are varied and would be not be able to be built in to our price.
