Yes. We have a USDA inspector on site daily to inspect the meat and our operations.

We use our own cattle as well as work with local ranchers around the Treasure Valley. We make sure we support and work with local ranchers! If we run short on specific cuts, especially for our wholesale clients, we will occasionally buy the local product from CS Beef. But our retail delivery product is almost always from our own cattle or that of other local ranchers we work with.

Angus and Angus blends.

While we are supportive of the USDA efforts to grade meat as a help to consumers, the process is very expensive. Because of the cost of having meat graded, we do not grade all of our meat. When we do, it is all Prime and Choice. On top of that, our beef comes from Angus cattle, which is prized for it's quality. It is a premium product and you'll be able to taste the difference. But again, we would rather pass on to you a savings by not paying to grade all of it. So what we can promise is that it would have been at least Select, and most often it would have been Choice and Prime had we graded it. You'll need to taste it and be the judge of the quality we offer. If you are absolutely set on buying graded meat, let us know and we will send you the meat that has been graded. It will cost you a little more, but we are happy to provide you with it.

In most cases, when you place an order we cut it and package it on the spot. It is then frozen overnight to ensure a fresh delivery. The next day it is delivered to your door! We highly recommend that you place a cooler on your porch if you are not there to receive the meat in person. In a cooler, the meat will stay frozen until you get home. When we have extra inventory it's frozen for no more than a couple of days. Bottomline, everything we deliver is very fresh!
