Recently, we asked everyone if they wanted a new drop point in Meridian. There was an overwhelming response that a new drop point was wanted, but the drop point times requests were all over the board, which would be very difficult to find a time that would be agreeable with everyone. Instead of coming up with a new drop point we decided that it would be easier for everyone if we just had FREE* home delivery instead! No need to try to make a certain drop point location or time! Just spend $150 on your order and we will be happy to deliver it for FREE to your home, work or business. 

All we ask is if you do not plan on being home during the delivery time (typically between 1-4pm) to please leave a cooler outside with ice packs in it. This saves a lot on shipping costs. If we have to start using insulated shipping we will have to charge more, so please put out a cooler. We will not leave your meat outside on a hot day, so we ask you to be prepared on drop off day if you decide to take our home delivery option.

For orders under $150 a small flat rate of either $12 - $15 (depending on where you live). Picking your order up at Boise Cold Storage is still an option, but we now have a $2 pickup fee. 

We look forward to serving your family! We hope this FREE home delivery option makes everyone's life a little bit easier to get quality meat to your home without the confusion of drop points and times! Feel free to ask questions below or email or call!

More on the Big Four: JBS, Tyson, Cargill, and National Beef

🧩 “Who Controls Your Beef?” 🥩 The Big Four: 85% of America’s Beef Controlled by 4 Companies 💬 “When just four companies process most of the beef in our country, we don’t just lose competition — we lose connection.” — Liz Cunningham Panel 1: The Players ProcessorOwnership% of MarketKnown ForJBS USABrazil (JBS S.A.)~25%Largest meat processor in the world; ransomware attack 2021 shut down 20% of U.S. meat supplyTyson FoodsU.S.~22%COVID shutdowns led to mass cattle backlogs; ongoing price-fixing litigationCargill Meat SolutionsU.S.~22%Commodity-driven global agribusiness; joint settlements for antitrust violationsNational Beef (Marfrig Global Foods)Brazil~18%Foreign-owned; major importer/exporter balancing U.S. beef and South American supply 📊 Together: 85–87% of all beef processed in the United States Panel 2: The Hidden Costs 💵 Price Control: Coordinated market behavior drives rancher profits down and retail prices up. 🥩 Supply Risk: When one major plant shuts down — like JBS in 2021 — U.S. beef supply can drop 20% overnight. 🌎 Foreign Influence: Two of the four are Brazilian-owned, meaning U.S. beef production decisions are made overseas. 🐄 Lost Independence: Family ranchers can’t compete with massive volume pricing. Processing access becomes bottlenecked. Panel 3: The COVID Reality Check 🚫 Plant shutdowns → millions of pounds of cattle euthanized 🍽️ Empty grocery shelves → record-high prices 🤝 Small processors couldn’t expand due to USDA red tape “It’s not the cow.

More on How Grazing Got Complicated- it's a "heated" debate

🌾 How Grazing Got Complicated Back in the early 1900s, before federal oversight, ranchers and homesteaders often clashed over access to grazing land. By the 1930s, the BLM was formed to manage who could graze and where. Then came the 1960s — and with it, new fencing requirements, reduced grazing allotments (AUMs, or Animal Unit Months), and tighter federal restrictions. But, this isn't just a difference of opinion, this becomes a "heated" debate when fires are not well managed and threaten our lands and the solution is rooted in good stewardship of the land as nature intended.
