 Different beef cuts on beef    
 To ensure very tender beef for our steaks, roasts and burgers, we process our Beef at lighter weights.
You can have them cut anyway that you like.
 
Orders are processed to the customer's specifications.
 
Because your beef will be processed After you order it, you can request specific cuts. You can also talk to the processor directly if you like to find out what cuts will be best for your family.
