American Ultra Lean Beef Products
LLC is a group of three
farms (Central States Parthenais, Michael Means; G&S
Farms, George & Stacy
Fisher; and Dietrich Farms, Gordon & Art Dietrich) that work together
breeding Parthenais bulls to Limousin cows, and 1/2 Limo and 1/2 Parthenais
cows, as well as crossing with other lean breeds (e.g., Salair, Piedmontese,
Limo/Charolais, and Simbra), all back to our Parthenais bulls.
We have been
raising beef for Laura's Lean Beef program for many years in their All Natural
Lean program. The Parthenais breed has cut the fat by 60-70% and more,
and has added greatly to the tenderness. We grow our own feedstuffs which include
grass, grass haylage, peanut hay, and rye grass haylage; we winter on rye and
oats.
We use no hormones or antibiotics in any of our slaughter
cattle. We use rotational grazing methods with low stress handling. Cattle
are harvested and processed at Krehbiels Specialty Meats, McPherson, Kansas,
an HAACP and USDA inspected plant.
We sell very lean beef cuts and burger products
infused with canola oil, which is patented "High Omega 3 - Saturated Fat
Free"® Meats.
Many of our customers are health conscious consumers, especially cancer patients
and heart patients who need to restrict saturated fat and cholesterol. Our
beef is featured at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America Tulsa, Oklahoma
facility in the patients', caregivers' and staff cafeterias.
We wet age our beef 21 days in cryovac bags and then check
tenderness on each batch and age longer if necessary to keep constant tenderness.
We remove all sinew and visible fat.

The Chapman Creek Cattle Company is now finishing
its Angus beef cattle the old fashioned way—at pasture. The exceptional
taste of Angus beef makes it the world's premium brand of fresh beef.
Our grass fed Angus is naturally lean, yet tender and flavorful,
something only a truly natural product can provide. It is the delicious healthy
choice.
We select only the finest Angus calves from Flint Hills
ranchers. Antibiotics and hormones are not necessary when these calves are
finished on our native grasses and legumes and kept away from a feedlot environment.
All our our cattle are processed and dry-aged one at a
time in a state or federally inspected processing plant.
All retail cuts of meat and split sides are available for
pick-up the first Saturday of the month from April-October at the Ranch, in
Topeka, or at the Overland Farmers Market. For pricing information and availability

are raised using humane, sustainable farming practices with no synthetic

Myers' Farm is a small family farm located
in south central Kansas. On our farm we raise as many heritage
animals as possible.
We raise a heritage breed
of pigs,
called Red Wattles. By raising these animals we hope to help insure
survival of this breed which was once considered extinct until
a few head were discovered in a wooded area of Texas.
The key to
the survival of many heritage breeds may well be the incredible
difference in flavor. The rich red marbled meat of the Red Wattle
is beginning to be offered in a few fine restaurants, but cannot
be purchased in grocery stores. We have limited quantities available
now and hope to offer more in the future as our little herd expands.
The Red Wattles on our farm forage free range, and are fed a natural
diet of garden vegetables, skim milk, and corn. We do not use antibiotics
or hormones.
We offer free-range eggs from heritage
chickens, usually spring through fall.
We make products such as feta
cheese and yogurt from fresh grass fed Jersey milk produced
on our farm, and jellies from wild plums. Seasonally, we have free-range beef and
fresh vegetables. All meats are processed in USDA approved facilities.
Please email us for information on availability of products or
