Colorado Homestead Ranches - Delta, Colorado

Save yourself the trouble and go anywhere else than here. Seven weeks to get a cow processed, and then short on what was returned, even from what Manager/Owner said I should have received back. Was promised they would make it right, they couldn’t even follow through on that.

Had a steer processed here. Steer was from a farm we buy quite a bit of meat from so we know the quality. I’d give them minus 1 star but my review keeps disappearing.
Meat was very inconsistent, most of it being very freezerburnt and mildly rank (it would stink up the whole house when you cook it). I eat a lot of game and enjoy some grass fed beef; I have good idea of the taste of meat with a lot of omega-3 and this is not that taste.

Prime cuts were very light- 2 small packages of ribeyes in a side that has no prime rib roasts. We did receive an exceptional amount of hamburger that tasted like the fat/suet had turned. The burger is very inconsistent; some is palatable and some is dogfood, the only thing consistent about the burger is how weirdly fine it is ground, so fine it’s gross. On top of that many of the steak cuts had trauma on the edges.

I called and asked about hanging weight vs. cut put up and was shrugged off; when I asked about the possibility of someone else receiving my meat and myself theirs, I was again shrugged off. I’m not sure how meat that had been in there such a short period of time could be freezer burnt and of such low quality.

Bottom line: something stinks in this meat shop and it’s more than the meat.

If steak is your thing, this is your place. My wife and I cannot afford $40-plus steaks at restaurants more than one or two times a year, and I've become leery of what we'll get when we do go out for a steakhouse dinner. At Homestead, we can split a ginormous, boneless ribeye for $23 or so, and it is definitely a cut above. I don't know if the beet is choice or prime, but it is fabulous. Take the money you save and buy some of their locally sourced cheese, which comes in dozens of varieties. Add a good Cabernet, and you'll have a $200 meal for $40 and no tip!

My wife and I purchased our first 1/4 this fall and received it in Nov. Absolutely cannot beat the price or quality. We have used several pounds of ground beef, 3 roasts and most recently two Chuck Eye Steaks. They camm them the poor man's ribeye but I can tell you they were as tender as and tenderloin we've had in years, nicely marbled yet very lean. Very very happy with our experience and the customer service we have received. We will be back for more!

The best beef I've ever had, order from them 3 times and all 3 times beef was amazingly delicious!!!! My first order was a test for tenderness and taste, and I got great result... but it was also good with my digestion system..
So I thought that it might be a one time result.. second time same results!!!
Third time also same results..
I will definitely order more from Homestead again and again and tell my family and friends about Homestead..
Thanks for your great customer services
and products..

We have used one other meat processing business in grand junction and it came half short of what homestead has done for us. We have now had two different ranches bring our pigs to them and the service/quality has been top notch with years passing in between when we used them. The service is friendly, and the packing looks/is commercial and quality.

Bought a beef processed at your plant. The steak and roasts are wonderful but the hamburger is almost rancid. Wonder if it gets ground and mixed with other peoples meat. Very nice job wrapping!

Drove from Moab UT to Delta CO to pick up our beef ( that should say ala right there, 150 miles ) we were greeted with professional people, as my wife paid, I meet the gentleman that brought the boxes of meat out, double checked to make sure I had my entire order.
We loaded up our freezer that we bought the day before and headed home!
Cooked up a couple of steaks and they were excellent...as good as any beef I've had in any high class restaurant!
Thank you Homestead Meats!
