We are the Maddock Family & 1st generation ranchers who are incredibly proud stewards of our land. We believe in hard work, muddy boots & proper nutrition, while raising exceptional ranch raised meat to nourish our bodies.

Since we are not certified organic, legally we cannot use the word organic.  However, our family is 100% mindful to our family practices on the ranch, our own standards and high end level of care.

We began raising beef to fill our freezer and to feed our small family 10+ years ago while living in a neighborhood.  Since then, we have extended that to feeding our extended family, our friends and now our fantastic customers.  We wholeheartedly believe that we raise the most exceptional beef and stand behind our family values of how ranch raised beef should be.

Ryan and I believe that when you get to know us and trust the family that's raising your meat, that means more than a sticker or label on a package from the local box store.   And the level of care that goes in to each animal is worth more than one official word. 

You're looking at 'em!  

We are the day to day work crew, the feeding crew & the fence line crew.  We clean the barn, wean calves, fill water troughs, clean out stalls, keep an eye on the herd to ensure everyone is healthy & we do this for our herd 365 days a year.  When we have a moment to scoot off the ranch, we hire a stellar ranch hand to tend to the chores for us, knowing our herd is always under the best care.  

First off we secure your beef share by collecting a deposit as well as some additional info. from you, the customer. 

Next we have our harvest day. From then, it's less than 2 days to get the hanging weights from the butcher.  

I will then message you the hanging weight & cost of your beef share.  I'll collect payment from you within 2 day's of knowing the hanging weights. 

Within 1-2 weeks of harvest, I'll get another call from the butcher and provide them with the customer info.  The butcher will then reach out to you directly to get your customized cut & wrap order.  

When your beef has been cut, wrapped & frozen you'll get another call from the butcher letting you know it's time for pickup! 

From start to finish it's roughly a 4 week process.  

Yes we do. We began collecting a $100 deposit in 2023 and have continued that into 2024 and beyond.  The deposit secures your beef share on our harvest list for the month you choose.  The $100 deposit is not an additional fee, it's a non refundable deposit that is applied towards the cost of your beef share.  Once we have the hanging weights, after harvest, and the cost is determined, we'll deduct the $100 deposit off that total figure due.  

Keep your eye's out for our NEW beef signs around the PNW!  

We reached out to our community & asked for locations to put our beef signs...  Y'all showed up for us and we've been placing them all across Clark and Cowlitz County.  

We're always looking for a fresh new location, so if you'd like to have a RAM and Co. Beef yard sign, get in contact with us!  We'd love to get one to you!

Tallow.... it's a super nutrient rich all natural product that is made from the fat that surrounds the kidney's on the beef steers we harvest.  

The kidney fat is the highest quality of fat on a beef steer and holds many amazing benefits both for your skin along with nutritionally.  

When harvesting steers, Aubree collects the fat from the butcher.  It's then placed in a clean container until it can be rinsed and prepared to render later that same day.  Our rendering process takes a few days as we like to triple render our tallow for the cleanest and purest white Tallow available.  No synthetic fillers or chemicals are EVER added to our Tallow. 

We have more info on Instagram @ramandco or @ramandcomarket  

And, if you'd like to get tallow in your home, we have tallow available for sale at www.ramandcomarket.com

Now to hopefully answer your questions on beef cuts and what's offered on a beef share from us! 

Do I get to customize my beef share? 

Yes!  You get to fully customize all your cuts, thickness of steaks, how many steaks per package & make this beef share work best for your family down to the percentage of fat in your ground beef! 

What if I don't want a specific cut of beef in my share? 

Any cut of beef that you don't want, that meat will be turned into ground beef so no beef is wasted or lost!  You can utilize your entire beef share. 

How is the meat sealed?

Our beef is vacuum sealed for freshness by the butcher and frozen solid before pickup is available. 

Can I get bones or offal? 

Yes!  You get your share worth of what is available on the animal that was harvested.  Soup bones, dog bones, marrow bones & offal. 

Yes!  All local beef that is picked up from the local butcher is completely frozen in a deep freeze freezer and is ready to go home to your freezer.  

When you arrive to pick up your local beef, you'll want to bring a few coolers, a pair of gloves (because it's cold!) and be prepared to take your beef home promptly to the freezer.  By keeping the beef frozen until your ready to eat, it ensures is freshness and freezer life.  

It can be smooth and fun or it can be grueling and cold.  Our calves tend to calve February through April.  Occasionally, we have a late bloomer who missed her cycle (it happens) and was pushed back but not often.  

Calves are born on their time, which for us means a lot of the time it's at night, on the coldest night that week or in the middle of a heavy rain storm.  

We've been blessed over the years to catch natural births on the ranch and I share that on our Instagram page @ramandco

Watching a new life be born is such a precious experience.  Follow along to see! 

In the late fall,  once the calves have reached 6+ months old, our calves are weaned using a safe, low-stress method.  It's a two step process and we've found that it is truly the best option for both calves and cows.  

The first step is to run each calf through the squeeze chute, this allows us to gently catch them and attach a temporary plastic nose flap.  The calves will then be released back to the herd yet no longer able to nurse while staying along side the mom cow.  This takes place for about a week, then we run the calves back through the squeeze chute and remove the temporary flap.  The calves are directed to a new pasture next to their mom's pasture.  This is called  "fence line" weaning.  Calves & cows can see & hear each another, but cannot nurse and are gently separated. This eliminates nearly all the stress involved with the weaning transition, creating an environment that supports both calf & cow.

Once the calves are weaned, they receive a mix of local grass hay, salt blocks, mineral supplements to fully nourish them & support healthy natural growth.
