Yes. A reservation deposit is required to hold your beef. The deposit is applied toward your final total and helps us plan processing schedules and availability.

Pricing is based on the hanging weight of the animal. Final pricing is confirmed at processing. Processing fees are included in our pricing.

Your beef is professionally cut, portioned, vacuum-sealed, and flash-frozen to your preferences. You will work directly with the butcher to customize your cut sheet based on how your family likes to cook and eat.

We work with a trusted local butcher, including A & R Meats in Red Bluff. This ensures professional processing, quality packaging, and consistent results.

We serve customers locally in Shasta and Tehama counties. We can also arrange delivery to Sonoma County, California and Washoe County, Nevada. Please contact us to confirm availability and scheduling for your area.

Our Black Angus cattle are pasture-raised and all natural. They receive hay when pasture alone does not meet their nutritional needs, access to protein tubs and salt licks, and are finished on a molasses and wheat grain blend, never corn, prior to processing.

Our cattle are primarily pasture-raised and grain-finished using a molasses and wheat blend to enhance flavor and tenderness while maintaining our all-natural standards.
