Reserve your half beef for our February 6, 2026, processing date.  This deposit secures your animal until harvest and is applied toward the final balance after the hanging weight is determined.  
 
Our grass-fed, grass-finished Criollo beef is the perfect way to stock your freezer with healthy, flavorful, and responsibly raised beef. Our cattle spend their entire lives on pasture and are nourished only with nutritious forage, natural minerals, and pure water from our deep wells. Our animals weigh between 800 and 900 pounds when slaughtered.  
No hormones.
No antibiotics.
No grain.
 
This deposit secures your beef. Balance is calculated after slaughter based on the hanging weight. A half-beef yields about 150 pounds of individually wrapped steaks, roasts, soup bones, and ground beef—depending on your cutting instructions.
