Grass-fed beef tallow, rendered in small batches from the backfat of our own 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cattle - no additives, nothing but rendered beef fat. Roughly 1.5 lb per container, shipped by UPS from Denver.
Lab-tested, ranch-specific. In July 2026 testing by the Center for Human Nutrition Studies at Utah State University, our tallow measured an omega-6:3 ratio of 2.03 - versus 5.35 for the lab's grass-fed tallow benchmark and 10.20 for grain-fed. The same testing detected beta-carotene and lutein - forage-associated pigments - in our tallow but in neither benchmark. Diet shows up in the fat.
Right here. Our tallow comes from our own grass-fed, grass-finished cattle raised near Ten Sleep, Wyoming, and ships by UPS from Denver, Monday to Wednesday.
Tallow is the traditional all-purpose cooking fat: it has a high smoke point for searing and frying, makes exceptional roasted vegetables and fried potatoes, seasons cast iron beautifully, and replaces seed oils anywhere you would use them. Many customers also use pure tallow as a base for homemade skincare.
We render backfat. It is ground first, then slowly boiled down and strained three to four times to remove the protein, which leaves pure tallow. Every batch is small - no more than 30 animals per load.
Keep it sealed in the fridge, or freeze it for longer storage.
