Raising the cattle is only half the job. What happens after they leave our pastures is what actually lands in your freezer, so we’re particular about who we trust and partner with.
We’ve been raising cattle in Jo Daviess County since 1870, and we don’t hand our beef off to just anyone. Every processor we work with is USDA-inspected, and these aren’t one-off vendor relationships. We’ve worked with each of them for years.
Here’s who processes your beef, and why we trust them with it.
