Why is beef so expensive right now? Here are the receipts. 🧾

The U.S. cattle herd is the smallest since the 1950s. Live cattle are trading near record highs — about $2.56/lb on the hoof, and the young baby cows we raise cost even more, around $3.63/lb live — before a single cut is made.

And we sell baby cow — true young veal — which costs more than beef everywhere: USDA's weekly veal report shows packers paying producers about $5.24/lb (early 2025) for the bare hanging carcass alone — before slaughter, cutting, wrapping, or anyone's labor.

USDA's own survey of farms selling custom beef direct to families (Q1 2026) puts the national average at $12.70/lb hanging for a whole, $12.63 for a half, and $13.52 for a quarter. And unlike a website reselling frozen boxes, we are the slaughterhouse — no middlemen, no mystery. Zabeeha is our name and our standard: transparent, traceable, trustworthy. Muslim-owned & operated, slaughtered fresh every single day — and our doors are open. Come witness for yourself.

What does “Zabeeha” mean?

Zabeeha (ذبيحة) is the Islamic method of slaughter — and here it is done the way the Sunnah describes, not the shortcut way. Every animal is hand-slaughtered by a practicing Muslim who recites the Tasmiyah — “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar” — over your animal.

  • Never stunned. No captive bolt, no electric shock, no gas. The animal is fully alive and healthy at the moment of slaughter. Much of the commercial “halal” meat sold in America is stunned first — ours never is.
  • One swift cut with a razor-sharp blade severs the throat, windpipe and both jugulars, and the blood drains out completely — the meat is cleaner and tastes the difference.
  • Kind handling. Animals are watered and rested, the knife is never sharpened in front of them, and no animal is slaughtered in view of another.
  • Grass-fed & locally raised. Pasture-raised animals, not feedlot freight.
  • See it yourself. This is a working farm — pick your animal, witness your zabeeha, know exactly where your meat comes from.
