Byram Cattle Co. offers premium grain-fed beef, raised right here on our family farm. These cattle come from the same trusted herd line you know from Earnest Roots Farm, never leaving our pastures. The only difference is in the finishing—fed a carefully balanced, GMO-free grain ration while still living on pasture.
The result is a tender, flavorful beef with the marbling and taste many families prefer. Every cut carries the same family care and commitment to quality you’ve always trusted, passed down through generations.
Byram Cattle Co. is more than just beef—it’s a family legacy. Local, pasture-raised, and grain-finished

How the Process Works:
• A $1,000 deposit is required to reserve your whole beef. This deposit goes toward your final
total.
• Earnest Roots Farm will raise your beef to the highest standards we believe in: No antibiotics,
steroids, or feedlots.
• Once your beef is close to being ready, we’ll email you a cut sheet so you can choose your
preferred cuts. We’re happy to help if you need any guidance.
• We have a scale on the farm. Your cow will be weighed, and we’ll send you a picture showing
the live weight. This is the weight that determines your total price. Remaining payment is due
upon receipt of this information.
• We will schedule the processing date and personally haul your beef to the processor.
• Once your beef has been dropped off at the processor, all responsibilities of Earnest Roots
Farm are completed.
You will pick up your beef directly from the processor once they notify you that it’s ready. YOU
are responsible for processing fee.
VENMO, CASH, OR CHECK IS PREFERRED. A 4% Fee will be charged for cc Transaction.
Important Notes: If you wish to use a different processor, please call us to discuss—additional
charges will apply and dates with another processor cannot be guaranteed. • The price on your
initial order is an estimate. The animal will be weighed prior to processing to determine exact
live weight and your final total will be updated. • Once you pick up your beef, it’s your
responsibility to transport it safely. We recommend bringing coolers or freezers for transport. ( we will not ship a whole beef)
2026 Beef:
8 available around spring.
We estimate they will be ready around May or June.
The target live weight is between 850-950 lbs. We like them a little smaller due to the beef more tender. Also the steaks are not massive and you have room on the plate for the potato :).
Bring home meat will range between 300-350 lbs. depending the weight of the animal.
