Cedar River Farms Natural Beef for Retail
Offer Your Customers Remarkably Tender Beef
Cedar River Farms comes from a purebred gene pool that guarantees consistent superiority in conformation, marbling, and grading. With more than 95% of our beef grading Prime or Choice on average, you’re guaranteed a positive reaction when customers discover the quality and tenderness of Cedar River Farms.
Proven Tenderness and Satisfaction
A Colorado State University study revealed Cedar River Farms steaks had no incidence of being rated as tough either by trained panelists or by slice shear force determination, whereas conventional beef measures tough 15-30% of the time.
Not only is our beef inherently more tender, it achieves this level of satisfaction in only 14 days. Conventional beef, even after a full 21 days of age, did not measure as well.*

Consistent CATTLE SIZING
The consistency of our beef is evident when comparing the carcass weight variability of Cedar River Farms Beef to conventional beef. While the industry demonstrates increased cattle weights and lower quality grades, we maintain a low average weight of 800 lbs and a tighter range of variability. Lighter and more consistent carcass weights result in smaller and more uniform portions, which are critical for foodservice and retail customers.
Give Your Shoppers Another Reason to Return
When it comes to an appealing meat case, we understand you want selection, richly marbled beef, predictable tray coverage, and marketing that draws customers in. Our consistent cuts and premium beef are sure to keep your customers coming back.
