The Circle N is a sustainably managed, 100% Grassfed Certified ranch, not a factory farm with tightly controlled, artificially contrived growing conditions. When you depend on the forces of nature to grow your product, nothing is a given. We depend every single day on healthy, microbe-rich soil, water and sunshine, and healthy, robust cattle. All have provided enormous challenges to us over the last 18 months and we want you to know how much we appreciate you and your patience as we endeavor to overcome, or at least manage, these challenges.

With a little fall rain at the ranch, we took take a leap of faith and planted winter grasses, and early this month, were able to turn our finishing cattle onto fresh, green wheat grass pasture - and they were very happy!

We are optimistic that next availability will be late January to early February, and are now taking orders for Quarters, Halves and Wholes. Many of you have bought in quantity before and know how easy it is to split a larger order among friends and family. Pricing is $7.50 per lb, with pick up at our house in Dallas or at the ranch in Waurika, Oklahoma. There is a $250 deposit on Halves (200-225 lbs) and $500. on Wholes (400-450 lbs), but none on Quarters (100-125 lbs). If you reserve a half or whole , you may specify your own cutting order, using a guide spec we provide. Organ meats are available, but subject to additional charge.

Please feel free to call or email me with questions. Again, we appreciate so very much your interest and loyalty. Those of you who are current NNBeef Eaters know it's the best beef ever. Guilt-free and delicious!

Deposits for the next harvest are due January 15, 2012 and I will send you remittance information at the time of your reservation. Please call or email me any questions. We truly appreciate your interest and loyalty. Those of you who are current NNBeef Eaters know it's the best beef ever. Guilt-free and delicious!

Our beef is available from time to time at Whole Foods Market stores in the Southwest Region. Call or email Nitschke Natural Beef for dates of availability at the Whole Foods Market store nearest you. Our beef at Whole Foods Market is in the meat case labeled “Grassfed Local” and is not labeled as Nitschke Natural Beef. The fresh beef marketed through the Whole Foods Market “Grassfed Local” program is typically leaner than the frozen beef marketed under the Nitschke Natural Beef label.
