Local Producers & Suppliers Directory
The Idaho Beef Council's Local Producers & Suppliers Directory is here to help introduce you to ranchers in your area who sell beef directly to consumers looking to buy local.
HOW MUCH BEEF DO I GET?
Buying beef directly from a local farmer or rancher often involves purchasing a half or quarter share of a live animal. Understanding roughly how much beef you will receive and the choices you will be able to make about cuts is key to having a great experience and getting the value you seek.
KNOW YOUR BEEF CHOICES
Like the farmers and ranchers who choose how best to raise their cattle for beef, you have choices when it comes to the beef you buy. You may see a variety of statements that reflect different production practices. Learn more about what these mean and make informed purchasing decisions.
cattle producers - you are invited!
If you are a cattle producer interested in expanding your options for delivering your beef to Idaho's buy-local market, you are invited and encouraged to complete the online application.
If you are new to selling direct to consumers you should contact the University of Idaho (U of I) local extension office to find out how to comply with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) regulations and learn how to meet labeling requirements.

About Us: We have always practiced humane, low stress handling practices. Following legal requirements our heifers are bangs vaccinated. Bulls, cows and heifers are wormed annually treated with 8-way and cows and calves are vaccinated with Bovishield Gold. Calves are vaccinated at branding and preconditioned 30-days prior to weaning.
We offer whole beef, 1/2 beef, individual packages of all primal cuts, including ground beef. All of our finished beef is grass fed. Our herd is mostly Angus crossbred with an approximate 20% contribution from Hereford and Charolais seed stock.
Other than seed stock, we have maintained a closed herd for twenty-two years. Biosecurity is very important to us; access to our ranch is strictly limited. Our herd lives year-round on our ranch and are not transported to winter or summer pasture. We raise all the hay fed to the cows and calves through the winter on fields that are not fertilized or sprayed with anything.

You can now order online and we will ship directly to your door or if you are close enough we have scheduled bi-monthly drop off points around our region. Our cattle are either fed hay or out on grass.
When the cattle reach about 800 lbs we continue to keep them on pasture and supplement them with barley to get that great finished taste. Our cattle are bred to be more moderate in size so they can traverse steep, rugged country more efficiently. We have also been selecting bulls with great genetic attributes to ensure our customers have tender, flavorful beef that will keep them coming back. Our cattle have been grading 95% choice and prime when we do take them to the packers.
We are a family ranch located in scenic north central Idaho on the breaks of the Clearwater River. We are deeply passionate about holistic grazing and leaving the grass and pastures healthier for generations to come. The last few years we have been concentrating on regenerative agriculture and using the cattle as a tool for soil health.
