Sourced from the lower legs, these hardworking muscles are packed with collagen-rich tendons, ligaments, and fascia, delivering the same gut-nourishing, joint-supporting benefits as bone broth. Their high gelatin-to-muscle ratio makes them incredibly nutrient-dense, perfect for soups, stews, or braising. The result? Deep, beefy flavor and ultra-tender meat.
By choosing our 100% Grass-Fed, needle-free beef shanks, you’re embracing nose-to-tail eating, truly honoring the animal and making the most of every part—just like our ancestors did. Our cattle are rotationally grazed on nutrient-rich pastures and never given antibiotics, vaccines, hormones, or unnecessary chemicals—ensuring a clean, collagen-rich cut perfect for slow-simmered broths, stews, and deeply nourishing meals.
Once you try shanks, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them!
- Braise for maximum tenderness – Sear the shanks to develop flavor, then slow-cook in water, broth, wine, or tomatoes with aromatic herbs until fork-tender (3-4 hours)
- Simmer into soups & stews – Add to long-simmered dishes for a rich, collagen-infused broth and tender meat.
Beef shanks offer a rich culinary history and a nutrient-packed, deeply flavorful meal that has been treasured across cultures for generations!
- Osso Buco (Italy) – Braised shanks cooked in a rich tomato and white wine sauce, traditionally served with gremolata.
- Caldo de Res (Mexico) – A nourishing beef and vegetable soup slow-simmered with shanks for deep flavor.
- Beef Tagine (Morocco) – Shanks slow-cooked with warming spices, dried fruits, and nuts for a sweet-savory dish.
- Nihari (India/Pakistan) – A slow-cooked stew featuring shanks braised with fragrant spices, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast.
- Locro (Argentina) – A thick, comforting stew made with beef shanks, corn, beans, and squash, deeply rooted in Andean tradition.

100% Grass-Fed
Our cattle graze freely on nutrient-rich pastures, consuming the diet nature intended: grass, not grain. This supports their metabolic health and aligns with their natural physiology. In contrast, grain-fed cattle are typically confined to feedlots with limited movement and rapidly fattened on high-energy grain diets, producing meat that differs significantly from what humans historically consumed from wild ruminants.
100% grass-fed practices support healthier animals, and that quality is reflected in the meat you eat. Research shows that grain-fed cattle exhibit elevated glucose metabolites, triglycerides, and markers of oxidative stress (hallmark signs of diabetes in humans), while pasture-raised animals maintain more balanced metabolic function.
By choosing our 100% grass-fed beef, you’re getting a cleaner, more nutrient-dense product, one that more closely resembles the meat our ancestors thrived on, without the added burden of pesticides and phytoestrogen-rich feed common in conventional beef feedlot systems.
Regeneratively Raised
Not all grass-fed beef is the same, how it’s raised matters. There’s a meaningful difference between animals grazing continuously on a single pasture and those raised using rotational grazing. Rotational grazing involves moving beef daily (1-3 times) across fresh pasture, mimicking the natural movement of wild herbivores. This allows the land to recover, improves soil health, increases biodiversity, and ultimately enhances the quality of the meat.
Beef that are rotationally grazed and moved daily to fresh pasture consume a wider variety of nutrient-rich grasses, which can lead to higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and beneficial phytochemicals. These bioactive compounds are associated with anti-inflammatory and overall health-supporting properties, and their presence is directly influenced by the diversity of the animal’s diet. (Research shows none are detected in grain-fed feedlot beef).
This highlights an important point: it’s not just about grass-feeding, but how the animals are managed. While rotational grazing requires more effort, it produces healthier animals, more nutrient-dense meat, and supports a more resilient, regenerative ecosystem.
Free of Pharmaceuticals and Toxic Agrochemicals
Healthy animals don’t need pharmaceutical interventions like vaccines, antibiotics and hormones.
Our cattle are raised in optimal conditions: grazing on fresh pasture, breathing clean air, and regularly moved to new grass, ensuring they aren’t living in their own waste or exposed to toxins. This natural lifestyle eliminates the need for routine antibiotics, vaccines (including mRNA vaccines), hormones, and dewormers. In contrast, conventional feedlot cattle are confined to crowded, unsanitary conditions, requiring constant pharmaceutical support to stay healthy.
By prioritizing regenerative farming practices and animal management, our farmers raise resilient cattle that rarely get sick. Our animals experience minimal parasite exposure, no stress from confinement, and receive optimal nutrition from diverse pastures that supports their immune function and metabolic health. Our needle-free beef offers pure, wholesome meat (just as nature intended) without the pharmaceutical crutches required by industrial agriculture.
Needle free meat - free of vaccines, antibiotics, hormones & dewormers.
