Beef PACKAGES

We Offer

At Falling Sun Ranch, we know that the best beef comes from a life well lived. That’s why we pride ourselves on raising happy, healthy cattle in a stress-free, nutritious environment. Our cattle are born, raised, and grass-fed in open pastures without the use of synthetic hormones. This results in tender, flavorful beef that you can feel good about consuming. Our bulk beef shares are available in quarter, half, and whole cow packages.

Our commitment to ensuring our beef is of the highest quality means that we are dedicated to partnering with another small business that shares our same standards. We're proud to work with another local, family-owned USDA and Missouri state inspected processor to continue the level of excellence we strive for.

What’s the difference between grass-finished and grain-finished beef?

Grass-Finished

Cattle spend their whole lives eating grass, forage, and hay all the way up until beef harvest. Grass-finished beef will be more lean with fewer calories due to its overall lower fat content. It will have an earthy, stronger beef flavor compared to grain finished cattle. A few months prior to harvest, cattle are moved to a different pasture to ensure they will not have access to grain.

Grain-Finished

A few months prior to harvest, the cattle’s diet is supplemented with a grain mixture of corn, soy and molasses to help them gain weight more quickly and reliably. This enhances the marbling and tenderness of the beef to give it a more buttery flavor compared to grass finished cattle. During this time, the cattle’s main source of food continues to be grass, forage, and hay.
