Why Choose Ancestral Ground Beef?

Ancestral ground beef is a simple way to enjoy more of what nature provides. By blending premium ground beef with nutrient-rich organs like beef liver and heart, you get the great taste of ground beef with an extra boost of essential vitamins and minerals.
Organ meats are among the most nutrient-dense foods available. They naturally provide vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, zinc, copper, and other nutrients that support energy, immune function, and overall wellness. Because the organs are blended in at a balanced ratio, most people enjoy all the nutritional benefits without noticing a strong organ meat flavor.
At Pipe Dream Farms Butchery, we believe in honoring the whole animal by making the most of every cut. Our ancestral ground beef reflects that commitment, offering a wholesome, minimally processed product that’s both delicious and nutritious.
Whether you’re making burgers, tacos, meatballs, chili, or spaghetti, ancestral ground beef is an easy way to add more nutrient-dense food to your family’s meals—without changing the recipes you already love.
Eat the way generations before us did: simple, nourishing, and full of flavor.

May is Beef Month

Here is a cut that is not so well known.

In the battle of Kansas City steak vs New York strip steak, they are in fact, the same cut. The Kansas City strip bone attached, New York does not. The New York strip typically has the tail section removed, the Kansas City does not. The cut originated in Kansas City and gained popularity when chefs in New York started calling it the New York strip.

Eat Your Way Through a Cow, Episode 1

Here is a really good podcast about what you and your customers should expect when getting a cow processed . It can be intimidating to buy beef in bulk for the first time. Share with your customers to help them fully utilize a whole or half cow, which is a big (and worthwhile) investment.

Please keep in mind that these numbers are for a standard breed cow. The numbers for the Dexter will be less, but the return will be a higher ratio. Dexter ratios are closer to 60-65% with less inputs, easier on pastures and a whole lot of personality!

What Do I Need to do Before I Drop off my Meat for Processing?

In this podcast, we learn about things we need to consider before we even schedule our meat for processing. Interesting fact is the return on the Dexter is higher than what is stated here. We experience much closer yields to 70% and our carcasses are smaller…so the freezer space issue is not as significant with the larger breeds.
