Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Want to Know About Our Family Farm and Beef
Beef FAQ
Is Your Beef Hormone Free?
Yes. Our meat is 100% free of any kind of growth hormones or any added hormones.
Do You Treat Your Cattle with Antibiotics?
Never. At Blythe Cattle Co, all meat we sell is 100% antibiotic-free from the very beginning. On the ranch, therapeutic antibiotics are only used in rare, life-saving situations or to treat illness. Any animal that receives antibiotics is removed from our meat program. Once the proper withdrawal period has passed, these animals may be utilized in other ways by local families or friends who understand their history. While treated animals are safe to eat after withdrawal, we want our customers to have complete assurance that every cut of Blythe Cattle Co meat has never received antibiotics in its lifetime.
What is Dry Aging?
Dry aging is a process that makes beef more tender and flavorful. We store our beef in a controlled environment for a period of time, allowing natural enzymes to break down the muscle and intensify the flavor. The result is beef that’s rich, beefy, and perfectly tender—steaks that are a cut above the rest.
How Long Do You Dry Age?
Every piece of our beef is dry-aged for at least 14 days. Because each carcass matures differently, our butcher carefully evaluates each one to decide the ideal moment for butchering.
Why Do You Grain Finish Some Of Your Cattle?
We offer a grain-finished option to provide our customers with a flavor profile tailored to their preferences. Grain finishing produces consistently tender, flavorful, and well-marbled beef.
Returns
What is your Return Policy?
We have a strict no returns and no refunds policy since most of our products are perishable and can not easily be shipped back and forth and we can not accept frozen products back for resale. If you need to return a sweatshirt or apparel, we will exchange for a different size if the customer pays shipping to send the original back to us. This does NOT apply for meats - all meats are NO returns or refunds, no exceptions. All bulk beef deposits are non-refundable.
