FAQs

Are your cattle also grass finished or are they supplemented at any time with corn?

We are 100% grassfed AND finished. We never supplement our cattle with any grains. High quality pasture during the growing season and stored forages (hay, haylage) during the winter months.

Is your beef classified as "prime" or "choice"?

The vast majority of our beef is choice. This is a pretty big accomplishment in the grass finishing world. On very rare occasion I take an animal out to 24 months and the resulting meat is on par with USDA prime. I have not had it officially graded, but if you are interested, give us a call and we can fill you in with more detail.

What if my products arrive partially frozen or thawed?

Do your products AND ice packs feel cool to the touch? There is no need to worry! As per USDA guidelines, you can safely store in the freezer for up to 6 months for optimal quality. You can also store in your refrigerator for 7 days in its unopened packaging.

What if there is a tear in the packaging?

Frozen items and ice packs do have sharp edges. Those sharp edges "can" cause small tears in packaging during transit and even being moved around in your freezer. As per USDA guidelines and regulations, if you notice that a package has accidentally been torn or has opened, the food is still safe to use; merely overwrap or rewrap it.

Does someone have to home for delivery? Is there a set time?

No, you do not have to be home to accept the delivery. We ship in environmentally friendly reusable freezer boxes with drain safe ice packs. We use UPS, you will be provided with a tracking number once a label has been created and is ready for pickup.
