Our local tourism association came out to pay us a visit this past winter...thought you might enjoy our story...

Well Howdy All!

We are just into our calving cycle here at the Ranch - so far 4 sets of twins are included in our count of 40 calves so far! With 80 or so to go we are ahead of last year's numbers being only the middle of February!

We have been sending out emails to our client base and find - much like last year - there is quite a rush to get on our availability lists.   And yes, as the title states above, we have sold out of our May availability.  In fact, we are working towards sell-outs of both August and October too!  So, to not miss out, make sure you reach out to us as soon as possible!

Of course it's a Happy New Year!  We, here on the Ranch, have so much to be grateful for!  Our family is healthy, our horses and cattle are all doing great - it's been a very mild winter so far, and we are enjoying the down-time that this season brings - just before our 2021 calving cycle begins.  So, so far so good!

I am following up on an email sent out to all our customers in late October regarding our need to get our livestock organized for this year's freezer beef orders.   Of the replies to my email, there was lots of interest: so much so that May is now sold out and August will likely follow suit shortly!
​
If you have any interest in ordering our beef, please let me know asap!  We would hate to see you miss out!

Yes, this has been a most unusual year!  We sold out of all our availability by May - which for us was wonderful, but a big disappointment for some of you!

Here's how our availability works: at this time of year we need to decide how many calves to hold back from auction and keep over the winter and into the next growing season for our freezer beef business.   We generally have an idea of our customer's needs and add to the hold back herd to cover potential new-comers.   This year we were caught off guard by the increase in inquiries and orders.

We are trying to stay ahead of the curve for 2021.  If you are interested in ordering for next year, let us know!  We need your delivery preference (May, August or October) and whether you are considering a SIDE, SPLIT SIDE, or a SPLIT. This "indication of interest" will help us plan better for 2021.

Simply click here to send us your interest...we do need to know by Halloween (just prior to Auction time).

Well, we are happy to report that we have sold out of all our Black Angus freezer beef for 2020!  Honestly, what a strange (in an awesome way) year it has been!  With everyone at home cooking - as well as the price of our collective groceries on the rise, we can see how $4.50/lb looks good on your grocery budget! 

We have been very happy to participate in filling your freezer in 2020 and so look forward to hearing from our customers on special recipes to make those particularly interesting cuts... Flank Steak anyone?

Due to the overwhelming demand for our freezer beef this year, we have been able to organize our yearlings so that we can make some available for processing end of October with an early November delivery date.

If you are interested in grass-finished Black Angus beef, look no further! 

Thank you to all our customers who purchased our freezer beef for mid-May delivery!  Next step is to get those Butcher instructions into us - if you haven't already!  We will be back to you shortly with the weights of your orders and our anticipated delivery date.

For those of you who we had to disappoint with the "Sold Out" sign, we are now working on our mid-August orders.   Based on the interest in our beef this year, I would not delay getting your request (deposit) into us so that you won't be disappointed by another "Sold Out" sign!

Many people ask us how things have changed for us during these Covid-times.   

Well: the sun keeps rising, the calves keep coming (up to 70 on the ground now!), horses are getting bored with their daily non-routine as spring weather brings on its own spectacular changes - and everyone needs to be fed!  This time of year (from November to May) is known as 'down-time' for us.  Despite some very late nights in the barn managing our calving routines; with daily chores we are in our regular annual ranching-isolation mode.  

We have been very careful to make sure when we are off-ranch, we practice social-distancing, curb side pick-up, and any visiting to the Ranch has been limited.  But like I said before, life goes on here and the livestock must be cared for!  So I guess nothing has changed, while everything has changed.

On that note, we will update all of our customers who ordered for mid-May delivery with our delivery protocol.   We do have a SIDE left of our May inventory, so if you still wish to order, we have availability as a SIDE or 2 SPLITS!  Just let me know if you want to participate!

In the meantime, be good to one another, enjoy your time together getting reacquainted with each other!

​and yes... wash your hands!

We need to receive your intention to order (deposit) by March 15th if you want to participate in the May delivery of our fabulous freezer beef!

​Don't be disappointed!
