2020
Store shelves were emptying faster as news of looming lockdowns and quarantines were spreading.
Could you find food for the week?
Did you already have a stockpile ready?
Meat packing facilities were closed down.
Local producers were overrun with orders.
A new mentality was starting.
Knowing where your meat comes from became a focus for many. Being sure that it is quality, premium and from a trusted source started being a priority.
Rattlesnake Meat Company was born.
Rattlesnakes? Rattlesnake meat? No. We specialize in homegrown, 21 day-aged beef and premium pasture raised, clean chicken. Our name is taken from the Rattlesnake Creek that runs through areas of our farm and ranch pastures. We are located in the Rattlesnake Creek sub basin of south-central Kansas.
Black Angus cattle.
The only time the cattle are not with us are the 21 days it hangs at the processor.
NEVER implanted with growth hormones
None of our vaccines are mRNA, and we will NEVER use mRNA vaccines—even if it means government pushback
Our cattle enjoy a diet of prairie grasses for the majority their life.
The last 90 days they are fed a mixture of distiller’s grain, alfalfa and Kansas corn. We do have some inventory of grass finished (ask us about it).

No, we don’t sell rattlesnakes or rattlesnake meat.
Our name comes from Rattlesnake Creek, which runs through our farm and ranch. Many of our pastures are located in the Rattlesnake Creek sub-basin of Kansas, a region covering 1,232 square miles of the Great Bend Prairie aquifer in south-central Kansas.
Most commercial beef is aged for up to 36 hours, others about a week, but we take it further. Aging enhances both tenderness and flavor, giving the beef a richer, more intense “beefy” taste. Our 21-day aged beef delivers a premium flavor and texture that you simply won’t find in a traditional grocery store.
We ship orders on Monday & Tuesdays to ensure your frozen meat arrives in top condition before the weekend. Our shipping week runs from Tuesday to the following Tuesday. Orders placed after the cut off on Tuesday morning will ship the following Monday or Tuesday.
Shipping: All boxed orders go out by 3 PM on Tuesdays. Most ship Monday afternoon.
Delivery Time:
Out-of-state orders: Shipped via UPS 2-day air or 3 Day Select. Expect delivery in 24-48 hours.
Kansas orders: Shipped via UPS ground.
Your beef is homegrown, and we know everything about it—from birth to processing. Your cattle spend most of their lives grazing on native prairie grasses, then finish on a, hand-fed, carefully balanced diet of distiller’s grain, alfalfa, and Kansas corn for the last 90 days.
As we work toward a more regenerative approach to cattle management, our beef offers will be changing.
Your chicken is CLEAN. It’s pasture-raised. NO GMOs, NO soy. It’s what we DON’T put in your chicken that makes it premium. NO meds, NO vaccines. Raised on pastures that haven’t been sprayed.
Because it’s not the same product.
Grocery stores only care about margin. If meat hits their 2% profit target, it gets stocked—regardless of quality or origin.
We raise our own cattle with care, finishing them on high-quality feed for flavor, not speed.
Every beef cut is dry-aged for 21 days to boost tenderness and taste, even though it reduces yield.
USDA-inspected, small-scale processing with custom labeling, premium packaging, and cold-chain shipping. Chicken is not bathed in chlorine baths. Chicken is also not injected with water, broth or filler.
Shipping costs are real. We use dry ice, USA-made liners, and trusted carriers to deliver frozen beef safely.
We're biting back at the Big Four, building a food system that values ranchers and customers—not corporate profit.
Local pickup? You get a discount for supporting us face-to-face.
This isn't cheap, mass-produced meat. It’s premium, homegrown beef and pasture raised chicken—and it's worth it.
We recommend having 1 cubit foot of freezer space for every 35-40lbs. Allow slightly more if you have bigger cuts of meat like roasts, briskets, large steaks, half chickens, etc.
There are multiple reasons for our name…Here are the top three.



Don’t Tread On Me
We’re fed up with Big Agriculture and the meat packers squeezing out cattle producers and the vertical integration of the chicken companies. Rattlesnake Meat Company is our way of biting back.
Like it or not, four major packers control most of the U.S. meat supply—with the government’s heavy hand in the mix, too. We're here to change that.
Our mission? To go against the Four and give you access to reliable, safe, and private beef and clean chicken—straight from the ranch, no middlemen.
Rattlesnake Creek
We’re based in the Rattlesnake Creek Basin of Kansas, but the name means more than just a place.
Want to support independent ranchers? Looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience? Rattlesnake Meat Company delivers both—premium beef and chicken with a purpose.
