FAQs

What do our cattle eat?

Our cattle are raised on range and finished on our best pastures. They always have access to dozens of plant species, including various grasses, legumes, wildflowers, shrubs. Cows will eat 60+ plant species a day given the opportunity. They can detect nutritional deficiencies within minutes and will correct their diet accordingly. Other than that, we supplement with mineral salt.

Can you ship my meat?

Yes. We currently ship to all 48 continental states in US. Please review our Policies before you place an order to be shipped.

Do you deliver?

Yes. We offer complimentary delivery on orders of $100 or more to Mesa County on Mondays and Garfield County on Tuesdays all orders received before the previous Friday.

Will my meat be frozen?

Yes. Frozen meat is actually a higher quality product than fresh meat. The freeze/thaw process is an extension of dry aging. The freezing further concentrates the flavor while the thawing disrupts the sarcomere bonds, further tenderizing the meat.

When will my Half or Whole Beef be ready?

We process custom orders throughout the year, usually every other month. Please check our Bulk Beef page to see dates.

Can I get sausages and jerky for a bulk order?

Yes. If you order a Half or Whole, you can choose from various specialty products for an additional charge.

How much freezer space do I need?

Small Orders (up to 20 lbs): Fits easily into a standard kitchen refrigerator freezer.

Large Orders (20 lbs or more): Will require a standalone chest or upright freezer.

Half Beef Shares (Approx. 200 lbs): Requires a minimum of 8-10 cubic feet of dedicated freezer space.

Whole Beef Shares (Approx. 400 lbs): Requires a minimum of 16-20 cubic feet of dedicated freezer space.
