Scent:

We’re excited to introduce our very first line of hand-poured tallow candles — a small-batch product we’re giving a try as a natural extension of our ranch and whole-animal values. These candles are made from the same locally raised beef tallow we produce on our family ranch, allowing us to honor every part of the animal while creating something warm, useful, and uniquely ours.

Each candle contains a little over 5 ounces of tallow and is poured into a 7-ounce glass jar with a reusable bamboo lid, making it both practical and gift-worthy. The jars are designed to be reused around the home once the candle is finished.

Our debut collection features three signature scents, each inspired by life in Northern Colorado — the open air of our mountain ranch and the hardworking spirit of our feed yard along the Front Range. From clean cedar and bright citrus to fresh mountain pine, every scent is meant to feel welcoming, natural, and connected to the land we call home.

These candles burn clean, last longer than many traditional waxes, and are naturally scented with essential oils — no dyes, no synthetic fragrances, and no paraffin. Because this is our first candle release, quantities are limited while we learn what our community enjoys most.

Thank you for supporting our ranch as we explore new ways to share our products, reduce waste, and bring a little piece of the ranch into your home.

Common Questions

What payments are accepted?

Our website platform allows a variety of payments, including all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. You can also choose cash or SNAP EBT at pickup or delivery (Not available with shipping). You will get a 3% discount with cash when you pay in store.

We can work with you on a plan to spread payments over time. Contact us for more information.

Can I substitute different cuts?

Our bundles are divided equally and pre-packed with already chosen cuts. Therefore, we are unable to substitute cuts in our signature bundles. If you would like to choose your cuts, we recommend having a ½ beef custom cut with your instructions.

How is it packaged?

All of our product is individually packaged and vacuum-sealed; ground beef is in approx 1 lb packages; 1/3 lb. hamburger patties are usually 4 to pack. Our beef is USDA-inspected and processed at Bear Mountain Beef in Hawk Springs, WY. The USDA states frozen, well-sealed beef can last for a long time, but recommends 12 months.

Vacuum seals are not perfect. Over time and with handling, the seal can break and lose the vacuum. There may be cuts that do lose their seal and should be used ASAP.

Do you ship or deliver?

We ship the products frozen with dry ice and ice packs on Mondays. See the ships rates in your cart. Shipping can get costly, especially with 2 day Air. We aim for transit times to be within 2-3 days. We are not responsible for spoiled product due to delays in the delivery carrier.

We do offer FREE local delivery in the NoCo area for orders over $100 ($15 delivery fee is less than $100).

How are the cattle fed?

For the last 120-130 days they are on a forage diet of high protein consisting of spent brewers/distillers grain, alfalfa, hay or straw, corn silage, cracked corn, and minerals. Their diet is formulated by our feedlot nutritionist to ensure they are getting all the needed nutrients, vitamins and minerals for the best muscular development and overall health.
Grain-finished beef contains high amounts of monounsaturated fat, the same type of fat found in avocado and olive oil. Recent studies suggest the higher monounsaturated fat content of grain-finished beef may be important for increasing plasma HDL cholesterol content among beef consumers.

Grain-Fed vs. Grass-Fed Cattle

Do you use added hormones in the cattle?

Supplemental hormones play a significant role in the beef cattle industry by improving feed efficiency, which ultimately results in cattle with reduced environmental impacts. 
However, we do not utilize supplemental hormones in our cattle. Instead, we focus on optimizing genetics along with feed rations designed by a cattle nutritionist. This approach allows us to raise our cattle efficiently and sustainably without the need for supplemental hormones.

Do you use antibiotics?

Just like in humans, antibiotics are used in our operation only when it is deemed necessary for the health and well-being of our animals. Typically, antibiotics are administered to address respiratory issues, and are carried out under the guidance and protocols of our veterinarian. Fortunately, illness within our herd is relatively infrequent, particularly due to our proactive approach to cattle health and welfare. We prioritize preventative measures to minimize the need for antibiotics. Usually, it is the younger cattle that need treatment, not our older ones that are close to harvest. In cases where an older animal does experience chronic illness and ongoing treatment, we do not include them in our beef program. All cattle (ours and other operations) must adhere to the safety standards of antibiotic use and the withdrawal period prior to harvest.
