AZ Grass Fed Beef

AZ Grass Fed Beef operates at 1333 S. Road 1 West in Chino Valley, Arizona, in Yavapai County, under USDA FSIS establishment number M46006. The federal record lists both meat slaughter and meat processing activities, cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection, a size class of very small, and a grant of inspection dated June 11, 2019. FSIS places its slaughter volume in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The associated website, azgrassraisedbeef.com, presents the operation as Arizona Grass Raised Beef, a direct to consumer brand selling 100 percent grass fed and grass finished beef prepared, in its words, in its own USDA inspected facility in Arizona. The site states that cattle graze native grasses on open range land in Arizona and are raised without added growth hormones, antibiotics, mRNA products, or grain, and without feedlot or animal feeding operation confinement. It describes harvesting one animal at a time. Beef is cut, packaged, frozen, and shipped in insulated boxes with dry ice, with nationwide shipping noted, including California, Colorado, Utah, and Texas.

The federal listing carries the phone number (928) 899-8717, while the website lists (928) 525-4441 for customer questions. A search snippet describes the business as family-owned in Chino Valley raising grass fed, grass finished Angus beef, and other listings associate the brand with Dewey, Arizona. The website does not state hours, custom processing terms for outside livestock owners, or a retail storefront, so details beyond the federal record and the online store are not yet on file.

Households buy through the website's online store rather than a stated retail counter. Options include individual cuts, pre-made beef boxes such as the Starter Box, Beef Essentials, Backyard BBQ, Butcher's Choice, Steak Lovers, and Beef Sampler, mix and match ground beef, and bulk purchases listed as a 1/8 beef bundle at 30 lbs, quarter beef at 77.5 lbs, half beef at 157 lbs, and whole beef at 314 lbs. Listed prices include ground beef from $9 per lb, steaks from $20 per 8 oz, and roasts from $12 per lb, with bundle discounts shown on the shop pages. Orders are cut, packaged, and immediately frozen, then shipped in insulated boxes with dry ice. Shipping starts at $19.99 for up to 18 lbs and $19.99 for each additional box. The site says it ships nationwide, including California, Colorado, Utah, and Texas. Prices and availability as listed and subject to change.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
