Our chickens a raised in floorless "tractors" that are moved to fresh grass daily. The chickens "free" range in the daytime and bed down in these floorless "tractors at night. Their diet consists of grass, bugs, and a mineral-rich, hormone- and antibiotic-free custom-mixed ration. We grind all of our own feed so we know exactly what goes into the ration. The chickens are processed on the farm to ensure a clean and low stress environment. You can taste the difference.

These boneless pork chops come 2 to a package. You will find that 1 package won't be enough. These chops are that good! Our farm is located on Petit Jean Mountain. Our pigs live outdoors in a wooded area with access to a barn in bad weather. Their ouside living space is rotated to clean ground on a regular schedule. They receive fresh forage as often as possible including Austrian winter peas during winter months. All feed ingredients are natural forms of protien and energy including locally grown corn directly from the farm.

$1.50 OFF THIS WEEK! (WAS $25.00) Oh yeah… check out the picture. I actually cooked that! Buffalo roasts are becoming one of my favorite foods because they’re so easy to prepare and oh-so-good! I throw mine in a crock pot with some pineapple/apple juice and water, onion, carrots, and potatoes and turn it on low when I go to sleep at night. By the morning… well, let’s just say that I can’t resist eating roast for breakfast! No knife required for this meat! In fact, have a spoon ready. It's so tender, it'll slip through your fork! I’d guesstimate that one of the roasts would feed approximately 4 adults, or one L.C. Ratchford for three meals in one day!

Well, don’t plan on making any gravy with the grease drippings from this breakfast sausage, because there won’t be any! Remember… buffalo is so much leaner than beef and pork that you won’t have any grease when preparing this breakfast sausage. If there’s anything bad to say about buffalo, it’s that it can get dry because there’s very little fat in it. (And we don’t add any because we want to keep it natural.) Just be sure not to overcook it. When cooking any buffalo product for the first time, check it regularly to remove it from heat at exactly the right time.

Football idea: cut these awesome cube steaks into strips, LIGHTLY bread them, and fry them up for the football games on Sunday. Pile them on a platter and put out several different dipping sauces like ranch, bar-be-que, honey mustard, etc. Be creative! It's like an instant "buffet". (Get it? BUFFet? BUFFalo? We're laughing at least.) And the good thing is that you're eating healthier without giving up ANY taste at all. Have fun!

Cooking buffalo is pretty much the same as beef. You just have to remember not to over-cook it because it’s so lean. Slow and low, my friends. My favorite way to cook these steaks is in one of those small (personal-sized) toaster ovens because it’s fast and clean-up is easy. I place two seasoned steaks in the little oven and turn the dial to broil. 8 minutes on side one, 7 minutes on side two and it’s ready to go at medium-well if you like it that way.

Attention football fans! You can rest assured that you'll probably be the only one grilling buffalo at the tailgate party! And let me mention that the mornings are getting cooler and pretty soon we'll be sleeping soundly with our windows open at night to catch the cool breeze of fall. Use this meat as shish kebab OR stew meat. A good pot of "buff stew" would be a great and healthy meal.

These have a slight spicy kick, but won't send you to the waterin' hole! We hope that you don’t get the idea that these are anything like the other snack stick products on the market. With Ratchford Farms products, you don’t need to wrap a paper-towel around your food to keep grease from dripping on ya! Our snack sticks are (again) not greasy because we don’t fill them with the by-products from other animals. I’m a country boy, don’t get me wrong, and yeah, I sometimes eat things that have probably been in the fridge too long, but loading up a good piece of meat with byproducts is just wrong!
