What our customers are saying:

  • This is by far the best beef I have ever had. Way better than you get in the stores and without all the additives. It is amazing. Thank you, Family Traditions for all your hard work!

    Joy S.

  • My family LOVED their beef! I cooked over charcoal and the flavors were outstanding, not to mention the incredible tenderness. We also had chuck roast and made Mississippi roast in the crock pot. No leftovers! As good or better than advertised!

    Ron D.

  • Sirloins were the best I’ve had! Ground beef seemed way less greasy than store bought and the brisket…probably the best brisket I’ve had. Great beef raised by great people.

    Chad S.

  • Some of the greatest tasting beef I’ve ever had. I was an executive chef for many years, and this is as good as choice beef gets! Will be buying again!!

Our Guarantee

Our family has been raising cattle on our farm for over 50 years. We have spent a long time deciding what feed is best for our animals, what genetics we want to use for our herd and how those factors influence their meat quality. We are so confident in our products that we know you will love them. But if for any reason, you are not 100% satisfied with your beef, we will return your money.

FAQs

How will my beef be packaged and shipped?

All your beef will come in vacuum-sealed packages that can last well over a year in your freezer. (But I bet you'll devour it way before that.)

We ship your beef frozen in a sturdy cardboard box with a 1.5-inch recyclable liner. Depending on the temperature outside and the distance your box is traveling, we will use multiple 3 lb ice packs and/or dry ice to ensure your beef arrives completely frozen. 

Will I be able to track my package?

Yes. Once your label is created, you will receive an email with your FedEx tracking number.  

When will my package be sent to me?

We ship beef mostly on Mondays and sometimes on Tuesdays to ensure your package doesn't get delayed and accidentally spend the weekend in a sorting facility.  

Bulk beef preorders will be notified before your box is scheduled to ship to ensure you will be home. 

What is dry aging?

Dry aging is the process in which beef is aged in a temperature-controlled environment for a specific length of time before it is trimmed and then cut into steaks. The dry aging process is unique in its ability to intensify the natural flavors of the beef while imparting a tenderness that you cannot replicate with unaged beef.

How much freezer space do I need to buy in bulk?

  • Our 1/8 beef is about 55 lbs and requires 2 cubic feet of freezer space. This could fit in a standard fridge freezer combo.
  • Our 1/4 beef is between 100 - 110 lbs and requires about 4 cubic feet of freezer pace. A small deep freezer is needed.
  • Our 1/2 beef is between 200 - 220 lbs and requires about 8 cubic feet of freezer space. A medium to full - size deep freezer is recommended.
  • Our whole beef is between 400 - 440 lbs and requires about 16 cubic feet of freezer space. Buy a full - size deep freezer!
