Our Story
The Problem: Big four packing companies' dominance
Upon discovering that the American beef industry was dominated by four influential beef-packing corporations, we recognized the immense challenges faced by small, dedicated ranchers in this competitive landscape. These ranchers devoted themselves to raising their livestock with care, only to be forced to sell their valuable cattle at unjustly low prices due to the monopolistic control of the market giants. Consequently, the diverse fabric of the agricultural sector started to disintegrate, and the aspirations of the ranchers gradually diminished.
Consumers, too, were impacted by the stronghold of these powerful companies. Faced with limited options, grocery store beef and a lack of transparency regarding the source of their grass fed beef, they experienced higher costs for quality products. As the influence of these corporations expanded, they frequently overlooked the welfare of the animals, the environment, and the individuals who valued their offerings. This revelation fueled our determination to champion small ranchers and prioritize ethical, sustainable practices in the beef industry.
