About Wagon Wheel Ranch
Wagon Wheel Ranch , located 14 miles south of Athens, is a 200-acre family farm that has been operating for 50 years. We raise antibiotic and hormone-free, 100% grass fed, grass finished, free-range, cross-bred Black Angus beef. We use a sustainable pasture rotation system with natural shade and fresh water available at all times. High-quality, free-choice hay or grass silage is fed during winter or drought conditions. We love our cows and treat them with respect and kindness. We cross purebred Santa Gertrudis cows (good mothers) with a purebred Hereford bull (gentle disposition and high-yield carcass); their daughters (healthy, gentle, good mothers) are bred to a purebred Black Angus bull (tender quality meat cuts). The resulting calves are the ones we sell to you! This crossbreeding produces healthier, disease-resistant cows and calves. Our Black Angus bull was DNA-tested for tenderness, ribeye size and 10 other genetic traits. Our beef is sold live on the hoof for $2.50–3.50/pound, depending on the current market. We deliver the animal to a processor where it is processed and aged, at your cost, to your specifications, then vacuum packed and flash frozen. This is the least expensive way to buy beef! We also sell individual vacuum-packed and frozen retail cuts. A whole carcass will fit in a 14-cubic-foot chest freezer; 1/2 carcass fits in a 7-cubic-foot freezer. A live-weight beef yields about 50% hanging weight, and typically produces 31% steaks, 31% roasts, 36% ground beef and 2% miscellaneous cuts. Live weights average 1000–1300 pounds. Two to four friends can go together to divide a whole carcass into halves or quarters. To ensure product quality, we only sell calves born, raised, and finished on our farm. Make an appointment in advance if you want to pick out your own calf at the farm. Wagon Wheel Ranch is certified by Animal Welfare Approved/ A Greener World for humane production and harvesting of our beef cattle, including the processing plant we use.
