The people raising your beef.
When you order from The Bend Beef, you’re buying from a real family on a real farm. You should know who that is.
Austin Sartain — The Bend
Seventh-generation farmer on the same Holly Pond ground his great-great-grandfather worked. Austin runs day-to-day operations alongside his dad, raises Black Angus on the 360-acre farm, and personally answers the phone when you call.
If you have questions about a cut, a freezer pack, or a wholesale account for your restaurant — he’s the one to talk to.
Our Calf Partners — Cullman County Neighbors
We don’t pretend to do this alone. The calves we raise come from neighbor farms in Cullman County — fellow Alabama families who’ve been working their land for generations and producing healthy, well-bred Angus stock.
This relationship is part of what makes Bend Beef possible. We choose calves carefully for genetics, vitality, and temperament, and we keep that pipeline local on purpose. When you eat our beef, you’re supporting a small group of Alabama farms — not a corporate supply chain.
Detailed profiles of our partner farms coming soon.

Get in touchFrequently 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.
