How it works

You only pay for the meat you actually receive

  1. Step 1

    Reserve

    Put down a deposit and we'll set aside an animal for you. We'll email you the anticipated butcher date.

  2. Step 2

    Weighed and cut

    After processing we weigh the beef and you tell us how you want it cut. We'll help. It's easier than it sounds.

  3. Step 3

    Pay and pick up

    You get a final invoice based on hanging weight, then pick up at the ranch or we deliver free.

What's a hanging pound?

Hanging weight is about 50–60% of live weight. What ends up in your freezer is about 55–65% of hanging weight, depending on how you have it cut. We price on hanging weight so nobody pays for what they don't take home.

One steer, weighed three ways

Live weight 1,200 lbs
Hanging weight 660–720 lbs

This is the number you are billed on.

In your freezer 380–460 lbs

Our ranch

Five generations on the same ground

Our family has raised cattle on the open plains of eastern Colorado since 1952. We do things the right way, not the fast way. Two years to raise an animal, no hormones, no antibiotics, and no pens. Our cattle graze every day of their lives, right up to butcher day.

We're not USDA Certified Organic, and we'll tell you exactly why. We'd rather show you how we work than hand you a badge.

What Colorado families say

  • 5 out of 5 stars

    We split a half with my sister. The invoice matched what they told us on the phone, to the dollar.

    Sarah M., Colorado Springs

  • 5 out of 5 stars

    They walked me through the cut sheet twice. First time I've ever understood what I was ordering.

    Daniel R., Pueblo

  • 5 out of 5 stars

    A quarter filled half our chest freezer, exactly like the chart said. The ground beef is a different thing entirely.

Your cut sheet

You decide how it's cut

Thicker steaks. Bigger roasts. More burger. Bones for stock, or not. With a half or whole you choose every cut, and we'll walk you through the sheet. It's easier than it sounds.

Here's a real sheet from a half beef, filled in. The highlighted option in each row is what that family chose.
