Blue Ridge Cattle Co.

We’ve had a LOT of people reaching out recently looking for beef shares, and first off — thank y’all. The support for our small business truly means a lot to us.

Unfortunately, we are fully sold out for shares in 2026, with only limited availability remaining for a steer scheduled to process in January 2027.

This year we chose to operate strictly on pre-orders. The cattle market has been extremely volatile and feeder cattle prices are at all-time highs. Because we operate strictly on the purchase of feeder cattle rather than running our own cow-calf herd, we have to know exactly where those cattle are going before they’re ever purchased. In a market like this, we simply can’t afford to be left holding unsold cattle.

We do still have some individual cuts available at this time, mostly ground beef, and inventory is updated regularly on our website, so feel free to check there for current availability.

We know that may not be the answer some were hoping for, and we genuinely wish we could help everyone looking for beef right now.

We greatly appreciate every message, share, recommendation and customer that continues to support us. Hopefully we’ll see many of y’all when 2027 pre-orders open up! 🥩

One thing people don’t always realize about cattle farming:

You’re constantly making decisions months ahead while prices, weather, feed costs, and markets change in real time.

Feed is bought before cattle are sold.
Processing dates are booked months in advance.
Repairs rarely happen at convenient times.

A lot of people see the final product but not always the planning, risk, labor, and uncertainty behind it.

Some years are better than others, but most farmers keep showing up because they genuinely care about raising good cattle, producing quality beef, and keeping agriculture moving forward.

There’s a lot more behind a package of beef than most people ever see — and honestly, that’s part of why we enjoy sharing the process. 🥩
