Product Details

Most 80/20 ground beef for burgers gets to that ratio through blending, fat trimmings from different animals, different regions, ground together to hit a number on a label. This one starts somewhere different.

Our cattle are grass-fed and grain-finished on open Alabama pasture, never sent to a feedlot, and single-animal sourced, so every 1 lb pack comes from one animal raised on our ranch.

Dry aged after processing and ground fresh before flash freezing. The 80/20 ratio is not manufactured; it is the result of how the animal was raised.

Why 80/20 Is the Right Ratio for Burgers?

Go leaner — 90/10 or 93/7 — and you are fighting the meat. The patty contracts, moisture leaves fast, and you end up with something dry before it hits the bun. At 80/20, there is enough fat to baste the patty from the inside out through a full sear, enough lean to hold its shape on the grill, and enough flavor that it does not need heavy sauces to carry it.

Our 80/20 Ground Beef’s Promise:

The standard for juicy and flavorful burgers

  • Single-animal sourced for full traceability from our ranch to your kitchen
  • Dry aged after processing for a deeper, more concentrated beef flavor
  • Grass-fed and grain-finished on an Alabama pasture, not a feedlot
  • No antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines
  • No blending, no fillers, and no shortcuts
  • Flash frozen and vacuum sealed in 1 lb portions, good for 12 to 18 months
  • Ships directly from our ranch and no middlemen

Built for the Grill or the Griddle

Form a loose ball and smash flat on a hot skillet for a crust that locks in the fat, or grill at high heat for four to five minutes per side without pressing down. No added oil needed — the 80/20 ratio handles it. Works just as well for taco meat, skillet meals, or anything slow-cooked where fat content adds body to the sauce.
