Producer Account Registration

Welcome Producers!

All of us at Little Colorado Meats (LCM) want to make sure that producers of every size, with a variety of interests and needs understand, 1) the harvesting and processing services we offer, 2) how our services expand your market opportunities and bottom line and 3) how our services benefit the community around you.

Our harvesting and processing services are inspected and monitored by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Livestock harvested and processed by us, in our facilities is inspected and ready for interstate commerce. Livestock harvested  and processed in custom or state inspected facilities may not be sold or marketed across state lines. Interstate sales significantly expand producers’ options for the sale of their beef, creates new markets and increases profitability.

We are committed to building a relationship with every producer who engages our services and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship. Your values are our values. We will treat you with honesty, fairness, respect and kindness. We will work to understand your unique situation and needs. We want your business!

LCM offers two service options for producers.

1. Harvest and Processing Services Only for producers who want their livestock processed for retail sale under the producers own private label or for personal consumption. The producer that uses harvest and processing services only, will have  their frozen, cut, wrapped and labeled product available for pickup within 6 days of processing. There will be a late fee of $35 per day starting on the 7th day after processing. Beginning in the fall of 2022, we will deliver for a fee of $50 and $.75 per mile.
2. Harvest-ready Purchase for producers who want to sell livestock to LCM for the current monthly grass fed carcass market price. Animals must weigh a minimum of a 1,000 lbs live for purchase. Purchase price is based on hanging weight. Carcass must pass USDA Inspection for purchase. LCM will purchase 18 month – 24 month old steers and heifers at the monthly USDA Grass Fed average carcass price. Older cattle will be purchased at 30% over the weekly USDA cutter cow and bull  prices.

For example: 1,000 lb live 18 month old steer averages 600 lbs hanging weight. Current Grass Fed Carcass market price is $4.39/lb X 600 lbs carcass = $2,634.

Beef purchased by LCM will be processed and sold under the Little Colorado Meats label.
