Processing

Mel’s Custom Meat Processing
USDA Inspected

Our Diamond F Brand 100% Grass-fed beef is processed at Mel’s Custom Meat Processing in Romeo, Colorado, about 35 minutes from our ranch. We’re thankful that Mel’s has obtained the USDA inspection certification necessary for us to be able to direct market our premium beef to you the customer.

Calm and humane handling

On the day that our animals go to the processor, they are handled calmly and humanely from the time they are brought in from the pasture to the moment they are stunned.

Dry Aging

The carcasses are hung and dry aged for at least 14 days and up to 21 days at 35 to 40 degrees F.

Shrink Wrapped, Vacuum-sealed packs

Our USDA inspected beef comes in vacuum-sealed packages with either one or two steaks per package, one roast per package, and tubes of hamburger

Size of cuts

New York Strip and Boneless Rib-eye steaks are cut 1.25” thick, and are sealed in packs of one or two steaks. T-Bone steaks, bone-in Rib-steaks, sirloins steaks, sirloin tip steaks, and top round steaks are all cut 1” thick. Steaks are packed either one or two steaks to a pack.

Roasts are generally between 3 and 5 pounds. Hamburger comes in tubes of approximately 1.8 pounds.

Processing of bulk beef purchases

Mel’s also does processing for customers who purchase a whole, half, or quarter of beef as a live animal, and don’t feel the need for USDA inspection. Mel’s charges $0.50/pound for non-USDA inspected processing, and you will receive your beef in white wrapped, packages stamped; “not for sale”. For USDA inspected processing, Mel’s charges $0.55/pound for white wrapped, and $0.65/pound for vacuum-sealed packages.
