What Makes Our Black Angus Extraordinary:

• Part of a rare, carefully managed herd of just 100 Black Angus cattle
• Grass-fed on nutrient-rich Vermont pasture for optimal health and flavor development
• Grain-finished for perfect marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor profile
• Processed at a local, humane facility to minimize stress
• Custom butchered to your exact specifications (standard cut breakdown below)

Your Whole Carcass Includes:

• Premium Steaks: 12-14 ribeye steaks, 12-14 T-bone/porterhouse steaks, 14-16 sirloin steaks, 4-6 filet mignon steaks, 8-10 New York strip steaks, 8-12 specialty cuts (flank/skirt/hanger steaks)
