Frequently Asked Questions

Is your beef grass-fed?

Yes, in part. We raise our cattle from beginning to end on the range and in the pasture. However, when it comes time to finish the animal, we grain-finish in the pasture. To finish we use a combination of corn, grass, and cover crop. We believe that combination gives us a premium flavor profile for our beef.     

Where do you get your beef? 

All our beef is born and raised on the family ranch near Buffalo, Wyoming. We can tell you almost anything about the animal you consume from bloodlines, health history, temperament, etc.

What is dry-aging? Is your beef dry-aged? 

Dry-Aging is the process of hanging freshly slaughtered beef ibn a temperature-controlled environment before being trimmed and cut into steaks. Although dry-aging takes time, we believe it adds flavor and tenderness to our beef. 

Yes, we dry-age our beef. We dry-age our beef for 21 to 28 days at Western Heritage Meat Company in their temperature-controlled cooler. 

Do you give your cattle growth hormones? 

No, we do not use growth hormones, and we believe it leads to a lower quality product. 

Do you use antibiotics? 

 If an animal becomes sick, we do treat the animal. Sometimes treatment is simply taking the animal to a lower altitude, sometimes it's electrolytes, and sometimes it's a 72-hour antibiotic. Antibiotics are given only if necessary, and usually just once to the animal that needs it.

Our most popular package is the 25-pound package, which is about a cubic foot of space, and has no trouble fitting into the available freezer space of an ordinary home refrigerator.
