What Our Customers Are Saying
Grass-Fed Isn’t Always Grass-Finished
A “grass-fed” label doesn’t necessarily tell you what the animal ate throughout its entire life. Many cattle begin on grass but transition to grain during the finishing stage—the period that significantly influences the beef’s flavor, fat and nutritional profile.
Ollie Allen’s cattle are grass-fed and grass-finished. They remain on a forage-based diet throughout their lives, with no feedlot grain finishing.

Better Than Anonymous Grocery-Store Beef
There is good beef in some grocery stores. The problem is that a package rarely tells you the entire story, where the animal was raised, how it was finished, how it was handled or how many steps stood between the ranch and the shelf.
With Ollie Allen’s Frontier Meat, those details aren’t hidden.

Six Generations.
One Ranch Worth Protecting.
In 1911, Olive “Ollie” Allen homesteaded a piece of Northwest Colorado that would become the Allen Family Ranch. When the Dust Bowl and Great Depression threatened everything, Ollie trapped and sold pelts through bitter winters to help keep the ranch intact.
More than a century later, James and Jayci Allen are carrying that legacy forward—raising cattle responsibly, caring for the land and sharing their family’s beef with families across America.
Every order helps keep a Colorado ranching tradition alive for the next generation.
