Does this sound familiar?
You’re frustrated with low-quality beef from your grocery store.
You’ve lost trust in the meat supply chain, dominated by four mega-corporations—two foreign-owned and influenced by woke investment firms.
You’re concerned about what’s really in your food.
It’s time to take control of what goes on your plate.
Reclaim Your Beef. Reclaim Your Freedom.
When you buy from Rattlesnake Meat Company, you’re cutting out middlemen, Big Packers, and Big Ag. You’re choosing your beef from a rancher you know—beef raised with care, dry-aged to perfection, and shipped directly to your door.

We get it—everyone has their favorites! While each box is rancher-selected for variety and balance, we do our best to accommodate preferences. If there’s a cut you’d rather skip, let us know, and we’ll do our best to swap it out for something else.
💡 Important Note: We do not replace cuts with extra premium steaks. The balance of steaks, savory cuts, and ground beef is based on how a quarter beef is naturally divided. That means no all-ribeye boxes—but you’ll always get a great mix of high-quality cuts!

No problem! Tell us when first ordering. We'll make sure to replace your ice cream with packs of our beef stick snack sticks, summer sausage or more ground beef.

How We Raise Our Cattle
Rotational Grazing – Cattle are frequently moved to fresh pasture, improving soil health, weed control, and disease prevention.
Self-Selected Grazing – On native grass pastures, cattle choose their own forage, leading to better nutrition and healthier herds.
Regenerative Practices – After harvest, cattle return to fields to restore nitrogen and carbon, enriching the soil naturally.
Seasonal Movement – Before calving, cows are moved to rye pastures for optimal nutrition and healthy births.
Join the Movement
We’re not just selling beef—we’re restoring trust, independence, and transparency in the food system.
Worried about storing a quarter beef? We get it. Not everyone has space for another freezer. That’s why we created the Essentials Program—giving you premium, 21-day-aged beef in smaller, manageable deliveries throughout the year.
