How are Holland Cattle Co. cattle raised?
Cattle are designed by God to graze and thrive on grasses and forages. The native pasture environment we provide yields healthier animals and better-tasting meat. Holland Cattle Co. and its partners' ranch pastures are maintained with minimal interference from human hands to keep our land in its most natural state, which in turn helps maintain water quality and provides a natural habitat for our livestock and abundant wildlife. Holland Cattle Co. has been raising cattle and sheep for over 175 years, and we are proud to continue the tradition of raising wholesome, natural beef.

We offer Custom Processing for our whole and half beef. Custom processing means the customer gets to decide how the beef is cut; for example, what fat percentage is in the ground beef, types of steaks cut, how thick the steaks are cut, which roasts are cut, etc. See Cuts Sheet HERE.
All beef cuts are vacuum-packed for extended freshness. The Holland Cattle Co. beef is dry-aged 14-21 days to maximize tenderness and flavor.

When buying a whole or half beef, the cost is LESS than the grocery store prices for grass-fed beef! Keep in mind, this includes the more expensive cuts of meat average and the less expensive cuts of meat. Our price per pound cost less than grocery store prices when averaging all the meat cuts together.
Why does each beef cost a different amount?
Many factors come into play when the actual TOTAL PRICE is calculated using the official Hanging Weight (which is not determined until processing). The determining factor is the live weight/size of the calf on the processing day. We try our best to stay within our live weight range that we state on our Beef Page; however, each calf is a bit different, which reflects in the final cost.

We process our Grass-fed calves just after weaning with their live weight approximately 800 lb.

How do I get my beef?

The day we drop off your beef at the Processor, they will log an official HANGING WEIGHT. We will use this weight to determine the Final Invoice amount. We will then send an invoice for final payment by Cash, Check, Venmo, or Square. This is required to be paid before the beef is picked-up from Holland Cattle Co.
