Know Your Beef

Our steers enjoy a life of pasture grazing, ensuring a natural and stress-free environment. For the final 180 days+, we supplement their diet with hay and grain to achieve the optimal marbling and flavor you expect.
Any steer purchased from Nyland Herefords will have been born and raised here on our ranch, benefiting from our commitment to animal husbandry in the open pastures of San Juan Batista, CA. With continuous desire to enhance our care practices and nutrition, we guarantee our animals are of the highest quality on the market.

When do I get my beef?

Once you place your order you will receive an email in 3-5 business days with follow up information. We aim to feed our cattle out to 1,200lbs + and timing may be adjusted to meet this requirement. You will receive updates periodically to allow you time to prep your freezer and get ready to have the final payment.

How much beef should I expect to get?

  • Half Steer
    ~250-350lbs of beef & soup bones
Note: Weight is variable due to the nature of cattle in general. We strive to raise healthy beef cattle to get you the most beef.

How much freezer space will I need?

  • Half Steer
    ~8-10 cubic feet of freezer space
  • Whole Steer
    ~16-20 cubic feet of freezer space

How does butchering work?

While we would love to be able to do everything on site, we cannot--at least not yet! There are many great local butchers in our area to choose from. We default to Freedom Meat Lockers, located in Freedom, CA. Unless you say otherwise, that is where we will send your beef.

You can always choose to work with a butcher of your choice.
Freedom Meats Lockers is a family owned butcher shop located in Freedom, CA. They will process your animal the way you'd like it. At this time, they only do whole or half cow, they do not split into thirds or quarters.

Freedom Meats will charge $2.10/pound (price subject to change) on the hanging weight. This price includes processing your steer according to your needs; i.e dry aging, wrapping, freeze flashing, and boxing it.

There are some decisions to make regarding how you would like the prime cuts "broken down" depending on which specifics cuts you are looking for or how much you would like as ground beef. Additional cuts such as, but not limited to: corned beef, roast beef, hot dogs, jerky, etc can be made for an additional fee.

When your steer is processed and ready to pick up, you can collect it directly from Freedom Meats. Depending on your location, special arrangements can be made for pickup directly from our ranch or delivery to you.
