Cattle at Legacy Land & Cattle in Black Forest, Colorado

Who you're buying from

A working ranch, not a distribution company.

Legacy Land & Cattle raises cattle in Black Forest, just north of Colorado Springs. The animals graze here, we haul them to T-K Processing in Caรฑon City ourselves, and we hand you the boxes at the ranch.

That's the difference between this and a box of beef shipped from somewhere. One herd, one butcher, and a phone number that a person answers.
