From Pasture to Plate:
The Journey of Our Angus Beef
Understanding how our Angus beef travels from our Tennessee farm to your table
Breeding and Raising
Beef Quality Starts at the Beginning
Premium beef starts at the tiniest level, genetics. The genetics at North 36 Farms derive from Registered Black Angus cattle, hand-selected for both maternal traits promoting calf health and growth as well as sire driven genetics focused on achieving premium grade beef. Utilizing a blend of embryo transfer, artificial insemination, and pasture services, we are intentional about each and every pair that is bred to deliver the finest calves each calving season.
Feeding: Grass & Grain
Grass-Fed, Grain-Finished, with a twist
Implemeinting New Technology for a premium product
On our farm, all cattle are provided free access to grassy pastures. Using innovative technology and equipment we are also able to develop custom rations for each of our cows, catering to their particular needs (both developmental and seasonal), Our goal is grass-fed always, with grain-finishing for the unparalleled marbling and taste our customers love.
Processing
Premium Grading and Exclusive Cuts
All at Trusted, USDA-certified facilities
Each of our cuts is meticulously graded to USDA Prime & Choice+ standards, achieving a marbling. This uniform, abundant marbling translates directly into richer flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Ensuring these grades demands an uncompromising commitment--countless hours of expert animal husbandry, precise feeding regimens, and careful selection. When we process the beef, we use the best processors and butchers in Tennessee to ensure the best quality.

More About
Our Cows
At North 36, we are committed to raising our premium Black Angus cattle the right way - on lush, open pastures using sustainable and humane practices. Our cattle are never given growth hormones or unnecessary antibiotics. We believe this thoughtful approach results in the highest quality, best-tasting beef around.
Locally sourced beef is of significantly superior quality to what is in the grocery stores. Before 2024, while beef packaging may have said, “Product of the USA”, that could mean anything from cattle born and raised here, to just the packaging itself.
The USDA has refined that rule to make it more transparent for American consumers, and North 36 is proud to say that our Angus beef is all "Product of the USA".
