Local to you, raised by us
In a county built on hard work and good food, beef from a farm three exits over makes sense. We supply Cullman families who care about where dinner came from, hunters who want their freezer stocked with something better than store ground, and Smith Lake weekenders who don't want to drive home empty-handed. Stop by, give us a call, or message us — we treat neighbors like neighbors.

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.
