Our Favorite All-Around Grass Finished Beef
Overall Description: Our customers enjoy beef coming from these cattle the best. They are fully grown yet have tender muscle fibers. These animals are hormone and antibiotic free and finish on 100% grass for 3-6 months. They only come around once a year from March- June.
Hamburger: These have great hamburger which has a fair amount of fat, about an 80:20 ratio.
​
Roasts: These animals have the best roasts. They are perfect for pot roasts, pulled BBQ and drip beef sandwiches, pulled beef tacos, and many other recipes.
Steaks: The steaks from these animals will be full sized and have great marbling for grass fed beef. The steaks from these animals are consistently good.
Flavor: Grass fed beef has much more flavor than your standard grain finished beef. I like to describe it as a beefy flavor. The dry aging process also adds depth to the flavor profile. Expect a noticeable difference in our beef vs. what you get at the supermarket.

Buck n' Bull MeatworX
Buck n' Bull MeatworX is the newest processor to open in our area. They are the only processor to use a true vacuum seal on their packaging which will appeal to some customers. The owner is also from Australia and has extensive knowledge on animal handling to ensure the animals stay calm in the time leading up to slaughter which is very important for meat tenderness. Also, they hand cut the beef resulting in less sinew in the cuts and bone dust caused by a saw.
