Natural Grass-fed Beef
Healthy, Delicious, Local
Knowing what you're eating is important to you, and here at Ernst Ranch you'll know exactly what goes into the quality beef we produce. Starting as calves raised on our pastures year-round, eating the lush grasses in season, and nutritious feed that we harvest for the winter months, Ernst Ranch cattle are happy and healthy, and never fed grains or by-products. You can be assured that you're getting beef the way it was intended, naturally grass fed!

How long does it take?
We schedule slaughter dates several times throughout the year. Once we receive your order we'll confirm it with the next available slaughter date. The butcher takes approximately 4 weeks from the time they receive the animal.
What kind of cuts do I get?
All orders are custom cut, so you can get just about anything you want!
How much freezer space will I need?
A whole beef ends up being about 12 boxes of beef, and will fill up an entire large upright freezer, and maybe then some.
How many pounds is a full or half beef?
Our cattle average 700 lbs. hanging weight but can vary plus or minus 100 lbs.
How much does it cost?
We sell the animal by the pound based on the hanging weight. The buyer pays the butcher for the slaughter and custom cutting when it's ready to pick up. Please contact us for current pricing.
Can I buy smaller quantities?
We sell our beef by the half or whole animal. However, we occasionally have beef available for sale as a box of assorted cuts or box of ground. Contact us to find out what we have available!
