SF Premium Beef

We are proud to be one of the Virginia Verified farms - our Angus cattle are bred on the farm, born on the farm, and raised on the farm.

We haven’t advertised our beef in some time, because our loyal customers keep us waitlisted 💚

We do plan to take deposits on halves and wholes in November, so stay tuned!

When buying beef, buy Virginia Verified Beef. Bred, Born, Raised, & Processed in Virginia. For a list of retailers, visit https://vaverifiedbeef.com/

We just wrapped up a successful round of Ranching For Profit Executive Link meetings 🙌

We were excited to host this year’s summer meetings in Russell County - bringing in board members from Vermont, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.

We want to give a huge shoutout to the Holiday Inn Express in Lebanon for giving our guests “the warmest welcome ever”, and to the Clinch Valley Soil and Water Conservation District for the excellent presentation.

The board was treated to some Appalachian favorites-beans & cornbread, fried ‘taters, scalded lettuce, country ham, and banana pudding, along with local wine from MountainRose Vineyards - followed by some live music.

Not only did we find ways to drastically improve each of our businesses, we sent them on their way with a new perspective of what it means to be Appalachian 💚

This is a good Sunday reminder:

By Kaitlyn Kitzan In agriculture, we’re wired to push through — it’s part of the job. The weather doesn’t wait. Livestock doesn’t take weekends off. Equipment never breaks down at a “good time.”  That’s why burnout can be hard to spot. It creeps in slowly. You can feel it in man...
