A Regenerative Farm.
We are a Missouri-based, family-operated regenerative farm committed to returning to the roots of agriculture. Our approach centers on grazing techniques with native plants and raising grass-fed animals in the open air, as nature intended
Grazed in America | Regeneratively Grazed | Nutrient Dense | Grass-Finished Beef
Healthy Land
We are adaptively grazing cattle to restore our farm ecosystem to its native roots (pun intended). Native pastures, with their diverse plant species, are more resilient and nutrient-dense. This diversity benefits nature and enhances the landscape's beauty. Our farm consists of over 50 individual paddocks, each with a well water tank to ensure high-quality forage and water for our cattle.
Healthy Cattle
Our cows are adaptively grazed on regeneratively managed land, moved daily to access the best forage. By focusing on healthy soil and plants, we ensure our cattle consume high-quality forage, keeping them healthy. Healthy cattle produce healthy beef.
Healthy Beef
With healthy land and healthy cattle, we produce high-quality, nutrient-dense pasture-raised beef that is the cleanest and healthiest meat you can feed your family. Our ground beef boasts a 90:10 meat-to-fat ratio, 20.16% protein (90.72 grams per pound), and an Omega 6:3 ratio of 1.841:1. Our ancestral blend offers an 88:12 meat-to-fat ratio, 18.51% protein (83.96 grams per pound), and an Omega 6:3 ratio of 1.843:1.

"We ordered a 15lb. pack of beef. It arrived packed in dry ice and the beef was frozen and ready to transfer to our freezer. We have been buying from Horstmann Cattle Company for several years and the meat is wonderful! We can't speak highly enough of the quality and taste of the grass fed beef."

August is a pleasure to work with, their beef is the best tasting we've ever found, and ordering/receiving is simple and efficient.

"Great people and fantastic products!
I recently had the pleasure of checking out their farm. Their land, bursting with life in every corner, moved me. I've now tried their eggs, pork, and beef and can easily taste the difference that proper management brings. The Horstmanns are doing it right -- caring for their land and animals alike -- support them!"
