🐂How our beef is packaged

How is Our Ranch Beef packaged?

All beef is hand-cut and hand-packaged. Because of the artisanal nature of our packaging, you may find some variation.

Cuts are vacuum packaged into single serving or meal-sized packages. Each steak and each pound of ground beef are individually wrapped.

Are there any other ingredients mixed into the beef?

No. Our beef is just beef, unless you’re buying one of our artisanal products like jerky or sausages. For these, a complete and transparent ingredient list is included in the description. As a family with multiple food allergies, we take your right to know exactly what is in your beef very seriously.

Is your beef inspected?

A full time USDA inspector monitors the processing of our beef from start to finish. Unlike large plants where an inspector may be responsible for looking at many beeves per hour as the carcasses roar down an assembly line, in our small family-owned plant the inspector has plenty of time to inspect every beef and monitor every aspect of the cutting and packaging of it.

Are the cattle harvested humanely?

This is important to us. We are ethically bound to treat the animals in our care with the highest standards of stewardship and care. We husband these animals throughout their life, and are adamant that the harvest of our beef be done with no stress and no pain. The animals are handled quietly and dispatched instantly.

Does freezing beef affect its quality?

Not the way we do it. Freezing can impact flavor when done too slowly. We’ve come up with a flash-freezing method that maintains beef quality. We believe frozen beef is the safest, freshest, and best way to bring you our beef.
