For the Ramthun family, becoming an owner illustrates much more than a possible financial benefit.

“The high-quality beef we work hard every day to produce will now be available to any home across the country who wants to enjoy it, and that they’re going to purchase it knowing the family’s behind it,” said Tim. “It brings us real satisfaction knowing our beef is being enjoyed. As a cattle producer, this is everything we could ask for.”

The e-commerce website, BetterFedBeef.com, allows consumers to shop for beef by the cut or by specially curated boxes. Once purchased, the beef is mailed directly to the customer’s home, packaged in dry ice.

“The Midwest has some of the absolute best beef in the entire world and our vision is to bring the most consistently flavorful and tender beef to households across America,” said Max Winders, co-founder of BetterFed Beef. “We want to accomplish this mission by connecting the best cattle producers, who are raising the best cattle, directly with consumers. More and more, consumers want to know where their food comes from and how it was grown and raised. We’re excited to be able to provide that direct connection between producers and consumers.”
