Polled Herefords and Angus, raised with purpose. Our cattle are at the center of both our family farm and the beef program we are building for the future.
As Redtail grows, our beef customers will be able to choose the breed that fits what they want for their family. Both breeds are part of our beef program, while our Herefords also have a special place in Kensley's show program.
Herefords are where the Redtail story began. Kensley is our only showman and shows our Herefords, while the whole family works behind the scenes caring for the cattle and keeping the farm moving.
Our Herefords are also part of our beef program. Customers will be able to select Hereford beef when reserving a quarter, half, or whole.
Angus cattle are being added specifically as part of Redtail's growing beef operation. They give our future customers another choice while allowing us to expand the farm-to-table side of the business.
Our Angus are for beef production — Kensley does not show Angus. As the herd grows, we will add individual cattle and availability to this page.
Both are proven beef breeds capable of producing excellent beef. Here is a simple look at the eating qualities customers often care about most.
Rich, traditional beef character with a hearty, beef-forward eating experience.
Full beef flavor. Proper finishing, aging, and cooking have a major influence on the final flavor.
Good to very good marbling potential. Well-finished Herefords can produce beautifully marbled beef.
A proven beef breed capable of producing tender, juicy, high-quality beef.
The breed at the heart of our story. Kensley shows our Herefords, and they are also part of our beef program.
Rich, juicy beef character, especially when the animal develops strong intramuscular marbling.
Often associated with a rich eating experience because marbling can contribute to juiciness and flavor.
Very good to excellent marbling potential and a strong reputation for producing high quality grades.
A widely recognized beef breed known for combining carcass quality, tenderness, and marbling potential.
Being added to expand our beef-production program and give customers another breed choice.
There isn't a wrong answer. Breed is only part of what makes great beef. How cattle are raised, cared for, finished, processed, aged, and cooked all contribute to the quality on your table. At Redtail, the choice is yours: Hereford or Angus.
Our cattle are raised with care from pasture to plate. All Redtail beef cattle are hormone free and grass fed, then grain finished to develop the marbling, tenderness, and rich beef flavor we want to bring to your family's table.
Kensley is the showman at Redtail. Showing Herefords gives her a place to put the lessons of farm life into practice — responsibility, patience, preparation, animal care, and the confidence that comes from doing the work.
Although Kensley is the one in the ring, getting there is a family effort. Feeding, grooming, hauling, practicing, cleaning, and caring for the cattle happens long before show day.
Hereford and Angus both have a place in Redtail's future. The goal is to make buying beef directly from our family farm straightforward and personal.
Select Hereford or Angus based on your preference and current availability.
Reserve a quarter, half, or whole beef for your family.
After taking ownership of your share, complete the butcher cut sheet online and select how you want your beef processed.
Once your beef has been aged for peak flavor and tenderness, processed, and packaged by the butcher, Redtail will coordinate delivery directly to your door on your scheduled delivery date.
