Frequently Asked Questions
Where is The Bend Beef raised?
Our Black Angus cattle are raised on "The Bend," our family's 360-acre farm in Holly Pond, Alabama, surrounded on three sides by the Mulberry River. The land has been in our family since the early 1800s and producing beef under the Bend name since 1902.
Is your beef hormone-free and antibiotic-free?
Yes. We never use added hormones, growth promoters, or routine antibiotics. Our cattle graze on native Alabama pastures and finish on a quality grain blend that produces the marbling our customers expect.
How long has the Bend family been farming?
Our family has worked this land since the 1800s, and we have raised cattle on The Bend since 1902. That's seven generations of Alabama farmers, all on the same ground.
What kind of cattle do you raise?
We raise Black Angus. We start with quality calves from local Cullman County farms, grow them slowly on grass, and finish on grain to lock in the tenderness, marbling, and flavor our beef is known for.
Do you ship steaks?
We currently take orders directly through our Facebook page and by phone. Local pickup is available at the farm in Holly Pond. Call 256-590-5840 or message us on Facebook to ask about your area.
