Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What makes Angus Beef different?

Angus cattle are known for their excellent marbling, which results in exceptionally tender, juicy, and flavorful beef. Our Angus beef is pasture-raised, grain-finished, and carefully selected for premium quality.

Is your beef hormone and antibiotic free?

Yes. Our cattle are raised without the use of added hormones or antibiotics, offering you beef that’s clean, natural, and raised with integrity.

What does “pasture-raised and grain-finished” mean?

Our cattle graze freely on pasture for most of their lives, which promotes natural behavior and a healthy diet. In the final months, they are finished on a grain-based diet to enhance marbling and flavor, providing the best of both worlds.

What is regenerative farming and why does it matter?

Regenerative farming is a sustainable, soil-first approach that improves land health through rotational grazing and ecosystem balance. It results in better soil, healthier cattle, and a more resilient food system.

How should I store my beef once it arrives?

Beef should be refrigerated immediately if you plan to cook it within 2–3 days. For longer storage, it can be frozen for up to 12 months. Each cut is vacuum-sealed to ensure freshness and longevity.

Do you ship your beef frozen or fresh?

We ship all our beef flash-frozen and vacuum-sealed to lock in freshness. It is packed with care in insulated boxes with dry ice to ensure it arrives frozen.

How do I properly thaw frozen beef?

For best results, thaw in the refrigerator for 24–48 hours. For quicker thawing, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water (never warm or hot) and cook immediately after thawing.
