Quality Beef Starts
With Quality Sourcing

Great beef doesn't happen by accident. It starts with quality sourcing, careful handling and attention to every step along the way.

Sourcing & Quality

Sourcing Region
& Breed Specific
Angus Cattle.

Both our USDA Prime and our Signature Angus are sourced solely from the Great Plains region, an area known for producing a higher concentration of Angus cattle. The region's climate reduces stress on the animal, and produces natural grass for grazing, prior to finishing on grain.

Sourcing exclusively from three plants in this region, in addition to our aging process, is why we're able to provide you a uniform cut, with consistent tenderness and flavor all year round.

Industry Experience At Melotte, we have over 50 years of expertise in sourcing. Our suppliers have even more experience, and the relationships we've created with them have been built solely around quality.
Trusted Suppliers Our suppliers implement humane and responsible land-management practices, with an emphasis on caring for the cattle and the land they depend on.
USDA Graded This region and breed specific cattle is carefully evaluated for marbling and maturity prior to being graded:
USDA Prime, Upper 2/3 Choice or Black Angus Select.
Family Focused The goal is simple:
Provide beef we're proud to put on our own table, at a price that makes sense for yours.

Our Facility

Handled With Care.

Once the primals reach our SQF certified facility in Green Bay, WI, proper handling and food safety become the priority.

USDA Federally Inspected Suppliers Our suppliers operate under USDA federal inspection and a HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) plan.
SQF Certified Our facility is SQF (Safe Quality Food) certified and undergoes bi-annual SQF audits to ensure our safety measures remain verified.
Food Safety Procedures Primals undergo our established primary food safety procedures for handling and processing. Additional measures include secondary intervention SANOVA, which reduces the pathogens Ecoli and Salmonella below detectable levels.

More Than Just A Steak.

Quality doesn't stop when the beef reaches our facility. It's what we do with it that makes the difference.

Every steak we sell is handled by our team of trained butchers, with the same attention to detail we've built our business around for decades. From the way we select and age our beef to the way each steak is cut, our goal is simple: deliver a better steak to your table without the unnecessary markup.

21 Day Aging Our primals are processed following a 21 day age. Beef only tenderizes for the first 10–14 days, and providing it the additional time reinforces that bold, rich flavor you expect.
Center Cut
& Extra-Trimmed Our steaks are center-cut and extra trimmed, providing an even shape for a more uniform cook.
Hand-Cut Our steaks are hand-cut by our trained butchers on-site, giving us control over the final product.
Quality At A Fair Price We focus on delivering high-quality beef without adding unnecessary costs between the butcher and your table.

Good Beef Doesn't Start At The Grill.

It starts with where it's sourced, how it's handled and the care that goes into getting it to your freezer.
