About US Wellness Meats

US Wellness Meats was founded in 2000 in Monticello, Missouri (pop. 98) by visionary farmers, who saw that big-business cattle-raising practices were taking a toll on our animals and our health. By returning to rotational grazing practices that are good for the planet and good for our cattle, we led the way in introducing a new generation to the unmatched taste, tenderness, and healthiness of grass-fed beef.

Ancestral Diet

Ancestral diets take many forms, but most will focus on all-natural, minimally processed, whole foods as close to nature as possible. Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers and as such relied on what was available in their area. If the herd moved on, so did the families that relied on them as a meat source. We are fortunate to have more reliable distribution systems today, so you can have 100% grass-fed meats delivered right to your door.

Our ancestors also practiced what is referred to as "nose-to-tail" eating. Nothing was wasted! We do our best to make available nearly every part of the animal, including organ meats, bones, and fats. These are some of the most nutrient dense parts and were considered prized cuts generations ago for that reason.
