Beef Cut Your Way, Montana.
Your specs go to the processor. Every cut reflects the way your household actually uses beef.
Your Cut Sheet. Your Call.
Taylor Beef Company is a direct-to-consumer Montana beef provider serving Miles City, MT, and shipping nationwide, offering fully custom-cut and packaged beef orders built around each customer's preferences.
Yes, buyers at Taylor Beef Company specify every major cutting decision before the animal goes to the processor. That includes steak thickness, roast sizes, ground beef package weight, and specialty cuts. No generic cut sheet is applied. Every order reflects the household's actual cooking habits and the portions that make sense for how they cook.
A Generic Cut Sheet Costs You More Than You Think
Most buyers who purchase beef in bulk don't see the cut sheet before the order ships. The processor applies a standard template, and the buyer finds out what they got when the boxes arrive. That's a real concern, and it's more common than it should be.
The consequences are specific and hard to undo. Steaks cut at three-quarters of an inch can't hold the crust you need for a proper sear on cast iron or a grill at high heat. A six-pound chuck roast feeds a crowd, but if your household runs on smaller meals, half of it gets freezer-burned before you get to it. Ground beef packed in five-pound rolls means thawing far more than you need every time you cook. These aren't minor inconveniences. They waste the product you already paid for.
At Taylor Beef Company in Miles City, Montana, no cut sheet is applied before you've reviewed and approved every decision. We walk through the options with you before the animal goes to the processor. Our beef aging and processing approach puts your preferences first, not a template. You leave that conversation knowing exactly what's coming and why.
Every Cutting Decision Starts With Your Preferences
Before any cutting begins, we work through preferences across four main categories. These are household decisions based on how you cook, not defaults chosen by the processor. We confirm each one with you before the order moves forward.
- Steak thickness—specify the exact thickness so every steak cooks the way you intend, whether that's a thin cut for the skillet or an inch and a half for the grill.
- Roast sizes — choose portion weights that match the household meals you actually cook, not a one-size portion from the processor's default.
- Ground beef packaging — select the package weight (1 lb, 2 lb, or other) that fits your weekly cooking volume so nothing gets wasted.
- Specialty cuts — request cuts by name (brisket flat, short ribs, flank) so nothing usable is ground by default when it could serve a specific purpose in your kitchen.
Sealed. Labeled. Freezer-Ready.
Vacuum Packaging Keeps Every Cut at Its Best
Each cut is individually vacuum sealed to remove air and prevent freezer burn. Vacuum sealing (a process that removes air from the package before sealing it tight) extends the usable life of the beef and keeps flavors intact from the day it was cut through the day it's cooked. We do this for every package, regardless of cut or size. You're not getting bulk-wrapped product that degrades after six months in the freezer.
Every package is labeled with the cut name, weight, and date so you can organize your freezer on arrival and pull exactly what you need without guessing. Taylor Beef Company handles all of this before the order reaches you. You don't need to relabel, repackage, or sort anything when it arrives. Open the boxes, stack the packages, and you're done.
Your Cut Sheet Starts Here.
We work through every cut preference with you before the animal goes to the processor. There's no default template applied to your order. You drive every decision, and we make sure the cut sheet reflects your household before anything else moves forward.
