Our ground steak is fundamentally different in quality, taste, and nutrition. Instead of using leftover scraps and trimmings from hundreds of unknown animals, we craft our ground steak from whole, premium cuts like Ribeye, T-Bone, Sirloin, and Brisket, all from a single, genetically superior cow. This results in a cleaner, richer flavor and a healthier product for your family.

What does “Ranch Fed & Ranch Finished” mean?

Ranch Fed & Ranch Finished means our cattle are raised and finished in a Utah ranch setting, with a focus on natural living conditions, animal well-being, and quality nutrition from start to finish.

At James Franklin Meats, our cattle are:

Born, raised, and finished in Utah

Raised in open ranch environments with space to move and graze naturally

Fed a natural diet of grasses, hay, and supplemental grains

Provided fresh air and clean water throughout their lives

Raised in low-stress ranch settings, not industrial facilities

Never given added hormones or artificial additives

Our cattle are raised naturally, without shortcuts, allowing them to grow at a healthy, natural pace.

Why this matters to you:
Beef from cattle raised in clean, open, low-stress ranch environments — and never given added hormones or artificial additives — produces better flavor, improved tenderness, and consistent quality. Ranch Fed & Ranch Finished beef delivers a natural, healthy product you can trust for your family.

Because you deserve better than mystery meat. We believe that ground beef should be just as high-quality as the finest steak. By grinding premium cuts, we ensure every bite is packed with incredible flavor and has a balanced, natural fat content. It's the cleanest, most delicious ground beef you'll ever taste—because it's made from the best parts of the cow.

Absolutely not. Our cattle are raised naturally in open pastures. Healthy cows don't need artificial boosters, so we never use growth hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. Our commitment is to clean, wholesome food, raised the right way.

Yes. Our beef is processed in small batches by local Utah butchers we know and trust. It’s then wrapped in traditional butcher paper to preserve freshness and reduce exposure and allow for longer storage periods. This local, small-scale approach maintains the integrity and quality of the meat from our ranch to your table.
