Quality Beef starts with a healthy animal,  SCB places animal health at the forefront of all decisions that need to be made.  

Let us show you the process of how your beef is grown.

We aim to be fully transparent, we wont feed you a line of BULL.

SCB does not keep a regular herd, where new calves are born to us every year.  We are partnered with 5 local farmers, who raise the calves until they are weaned, weigh over 500lbs, and healthy enough to stand on their own.  

We select cattle called "feeders" based on their ability to produce quality efficient Beef.

These farmers each raise a quality calf, keep their animals well fed, and properly cared for.  they put thought into every aspect of their operation.  

These farmers are paid for the quality that they produce.

Once the feeders arrive to SCB, Quality continues.  

Once the animals have adjusted to their new home they graze on pasture. In the wintertime they still have free range over acres of pasture, but will generally choose hay for their the biggest portion of their diet.

SCB provides a simple, balanced and proven diet for our animals.  This diet consists of: 

1. Free choice hay: a 24/7 buffet of grass hay, when they feel like eating, they eat

2. A balanced ration of Feed: Our feed is sourced locally & fed daily.

3. Free choice mineral: think of it as a multi-vitamin but for cows

When you ask a body builder what they eat, they have a well thought out, pre-planned diet.  We are no different, we are in the business of putting muscle on cattle, and our recipe results in a high quality, tasty, and healthy meat.

Around 3 weeks after the animals are dropped off at the processor your beef will be packaged, frozen, and ready for you to pick up.  

Now, the rest is up to you.  You must decide what you're cooking and who you're inviting for supper. 

We hope that it is Beef.

Our feed is simple and local, comprised of the following:

• Corn - high energy source, sourced from within our county

• Soybean Hulls - a fiber and protein source that improves gut health

• Dried Distillers Grain - a byproduct of making good corn liquor ( or ethanol). Protien source that is high in minerals

• Cotton Seed Hulls - a byproduct of cotton grown right here in Tennessee. Fiber

• Molasses - gives the feed a sweet smell and taste,  you like your sweets too, cows are no different

As you can see, the byproducts from many industries, are repurposed here in the form of a well balanced diet.  Calves receive a portion each day, based on their weight and dietary needs
