Frequently Asked Questions at Diamond D Ranch, Alabama

Everything You Should Know Before Ordering Our Beef

What makes Diamond D Ranch beef different?

We raise all our cattle on organic pastures right here in Alabama — never confined, never rushed. They stay on pasture their entire lives and are handled using low-stress, holistic methods that prioritize their health and well-being.

We finish with a Non-GMO grain ration to give our beef that buttery, flavorful marbling you love — all while honoring your values.

How do I know your animals are treated humanely?

As a holistic and homeopathic vet student, I’m deeply invested in both the health of the animal and the quality of the final product. Our cattle are moved gently, handled with care, and allowed to live out their days on clean pasture, free of stress and crowded feedlots. It’s the way nature intended — and it shows in the taste.

I don’t have a lot of freezer space — can I still order?

Absolutely! Not everyone has room for a chest freezer — that’s why we offer:

  • Single cuts (like ground, ribeye, or roast) for trying before you commit
  • Curated bundles that fit easily in a standard freezer drawer - these are our best sellers
  • Mini bulk options like 1/8 cow shares that won’t overwhelm your space

We’re all about simplifying your life, not complicating it.

What comes in a bundle versus a bulk beef order?

Every Bundle is thoughtfully curated to give you a variety of cuts based on your meal plans & includes a Special Bonus Blessing:

Our Bulk Beef comes in 50-400lb packages with a variety of steaks, slow cooker cuts, meal ready cuts, and ground.

  • Larger shares offer the best value.
  • Check out our Bulk Beef here to see what comes in each bulk option!

Do you ship nationwide? How does shipping work?

Yes — we ship to all 48 contiguous U.S. states! Shipping is:

  • Free on orders over $175 in our ground network
  • Free nationwide for beef orders over $275
  • All boxes arrive in insulated, crush-proof packaging designed to keep your beef frozen

You’ll get tracking info, updates, and a box packed with intention — from our family to yours.

How long does it stay good in the freezer?

Our cuts are vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen, so they’ll last up to 12-18 months in a home freezer — without freezer burn or flavor loss. But trust us — most customers say they’re gone long before that.

How should I cook it? What if I’ve never made this cut before?

We’re here to guide you every step of the way. Every product page has a simple, delicious recipe to help you cook with confidence — no fancy tools or hours in the kitchen required. Just clean ingredients, real food, and the flavor speaks for itself.

What if I don’t like something?

We stand behind every single cut with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something’s not right, just reach out. Whether you need cooking tips or a replacement, we’ll make it right — because we care about what ends up on your plate as much as you do.

How does your deposit/whole-beef program work?

For , eighth, quarter, half, or whole beef orders, you place a non-refundable deposit up front, and pay the remaining balance when the beef is processed and ready to ship.

With your order you also receive free shipping, and marrow bones if you wish!

Are these specific cuts available individually?

Yes, we offer individual cuts like Sirloin, Ribeye, NY Strip, Filet Mignon, Skirt Steak, Flank Steak, Stew Meat, Brisket, and Organs. Availability fluctuates due to changes in demand and inventory levels.

Can I order beef and tallow together in one shipment?

Absolutely! You can add tallow to any beef order (allow thawing before use), and it counts toward your free beef shipping threshold. That means:

  • $175 or more, it ships free within our ground network.
  • $275 or more, it ships free nationwide (contiguous U.S.).

It’s a great way to stock your freezer and your self-care routine with something clean and nourishing — all in one box.

Tallow Skincare FAQs: Whipped Balms & Lip Care Explained

How is it shipped?

All of our tallow products are shipped in our hot-iron branded, environmentally freindly boxes. The unboxing experience gives you a beautiful - yet simplified start to your clean skincare journey with the rustic feel of our very own cattle brand, combined with earthy tones of fluffy crinkle paper to protect your items during shipping.

Is tallow skincare greasy?

Nope! Because tallow is derived from gently rendered beef fat, it is almost bio-identical to your skin's fatty acid profile. This ensures it absorbs quickly, and deeply - resulting in long-lasting nourishment that doesn't leave you will a filmy, greasy layer of oil!

Does the unscented smell like beef fat?

We actually render our tallow a minimum of 3 times during the preparation before it is formulated in any of our skincare products. This ensures any "beefy" smell is removed - leaving you with the warm, earthy tones that accompany the natural minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids present in your skincare.

Do I have to keep my tallow refridgerated?

I want to try it, but I'm nervous about taking the leap and applying beef fat to my skin.

Hey, we get it... it's not the norm right?

For our tallow skincare, we will work with you to make sure you are getting the most out of your product.

However, if you are unsatisfied at this point, we will gladly refund you - just donate the jar to a friend who has been wanting to try it!

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Tallow is actually one of the most gently ingredients you can use in skincare. This is due to the fact that there are no carcinogens or synthetic substances present.

Do you accept returns?

If you are unsatisfied with your tallow skincare, we will gladly refund you - we just ask that you offer your jar to someone you know who has been wanting to try it themselves.
