What to Expect and Why to Buy
Ditch the Food Pyramid
We've been forced to learn about the food pyramid (Millennials) and then the myplate (Gen Z)...these are all propaganda paid for by special interest groups. There is no better food for your body and for the environment than that of the natural beef. No added preservatives, no food coloring, no chemicals to make it last on the shelf for years and years...this is all natural protein! There are few things in this world that can convert an inedible grass into a delicious and nutritious steak, praise the Lord for His planning.

Cuts of Beef
There are five major primal beef cuts in a beef feeder animal:
​
1. Chuck
2. Rib
3. Loin and Sirloin
4. Round
5. Brisket, Plate, and Flank
​
All sides of beef can be custom cut out of these primal cuts. Commonly, roasts, steaks, brisket, and ground beef are ordered but other specific items such as tongue and liver can be packaged as well. Anything that you don't choose to selectively package will be turned into ground beef (hamburger meat).
