A Single Ranch. A Single Story.
One ranch.
One name on the box.
Most meat sold in America passes through three to five hands before it reaches yours. Distributor. Wholesaler. Retailer. Each hand strips a margin point and a fact about the animal. Circle 7 brings the ranch directly to you.
The Ranch
Mt. Pleasant, Utah. Elevation 5,925 feet.
We raise our cattle, hogs, and Rambouillet cross lamb on a ranch in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, in the heart of Sanpete County. The Sanpete Valley sits between the Wasatch Plateau and the San Pitch Mountains, with cold winters, dry summers, and high-protein dryland forage. It's some of the best small-herd cattle country in the Intermountain West, and it's where every Circle 7 animal is born, raised, and finished.
The ranch is family-operated. The cattle are raised with care from birth. The pigs grow up on the same pasture. The sheep graze the same hills.
Processing
Processed under USDA inspection.
Every Circle 7 animal is processed under USDA inspection. Finished cuts are vacuum-sealed and frozen for delivery.
All product carries the USDA inspection mark. Traceable lot codes. Documented from chill room to vacuum seal.
The Cold Chain
Colorado City, Arizona. Insulated boxes. Gel-pack cold.
After processing, finished cuts move to our cold-chain packing facility in Colorado City, Arizona. We pack with insulated EFP boxes and Pelton-Shepherd gel packs, both rated for 36-48 hour transit cold-hold. Every order ships UPS or FedEx 2-day. You unbox meat that's still frozen-solid in the middle. We do not subscribe to "thawed-on-arrival is acceptable." It isn't.
