Please reach us at laysranch@att.net if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes! Please email or call us and we would be glad to help you fill out the forms and discuss the ordering process and any other questions that you may have.
There are many variables to take into consideration of what to expect, size of steer, cuts ordered, etc. Every whole and half order is custom cut to your specifications. Quarters are not custom cut - They are a half order cut to a stadard cut sheet and divided in half. Briskets will be cut in half.
You can generally expect:
roasts, steaks, ground beef, ribs, stew meat, flank steak, skirt steak, round steak, brisket, soup bones, possible organs
The pricing includes pasture raised beef or pork, basic processing and vacuum wrapping. Specialty cuts are an extra fee passed straight from the butcher to buyer. Hide, tenderizing, patties, sausage, etc.
Most other ranchers have you pay the processing fee separate from the ranch, but it is included in our fee to simplify the process for you.
Yes! All of our livestock are raised on pasture and will be grass fed, grass finished.
They are NEVER confined on a feedlot type of environment.
When we prepare them for butcher we separate those to be butchered and they get a whole pasture to themselves. We then supplement their pasture diet with grain for the last few months before butcher. I say supplement because we are not “Finishing” them on grain. They are finished on pasture and on grass. We give them just a small daily ration out in the pasture to balance the grass (some call “gamey”) flavor with the “grain” flavor that we are so accustomed to finding now in stores and restaurants. The cleanness and all natural flavors of grass finished beef is there but just a hint of sweetness to be more balanced. They are not fed so much that they pack on fat and that you lose the grass flavor completely. This combination creates exceptional flavor. All of this being said, if you desire to have strictly grass fed, grass finished, and no grain we can keep that steer separate and not receive any supplements. Though it would have to be a whole steer order.
While we do not offer this right now, we are currently in the process of adding this option to the ranch. Keep checking!
This is our current thoughts on the process: You will choose the box size you want and add it to your cart. Then each month at a certain day and time we will meet at a designated pick up location to meet with subscription buyers.
We do not sell individual cuts.
