Understanding Your Cut Sheet

Custom Beef Cuts

Our beef is pasture raised and grain finished to create well marbled meat. Our cattle never receive injectable antibiotics or steroids and are never given growth hormones or animal byproducts. We have been raising cattle in this more natural way for many years which results in meat tasting like it should, and with the inclusion of Wagyu, it tastes better than the beef our families enjoyed generations ago.
