FAQ
What makes MG Cattle beef different from grocery store beef?
MG Cattle Co. offers premium beef from cattle that are pasture-raised without the use of antibiotics, hormones, or pesticides on our pastures. Our cattle are finished on non-GMO grains to enhance flavor and nutrition. Additionally, our beef is dry-aged for a minimum of 14 days, ensuring that each cut has exceptional tenderness and flavor that you won't find in supermarket beef.
What are the benefits of buying beef in bulk?
Buying in bulk is cost-effective, reduces packaging waste, and ensures you always have high-quality beef on hand. It also allows you to support local and sustainable farming practices directly.
Can I choose specific cuts in my beef share?
While specific cuts cannot be selected in each share due to the nature of whole-animal butchery, we ensure each share is proportionally balanced with a variety of cuts, including steaks, roasts, ground beef, and more.
If you'd like to purchase a whole beef share and interested in the custom cut options, please reach out to us for details.
