Why we exist...


Consumers are increasingly concerned with value while purchasing beef for their families. With decades of hands-on involvement in the beef industry, Natural State Beef Company brings a solid reputation for quality to the table. We are passionate about building a mutually beneficial relationship between Arkansas cattle producers and beef buyers who want high-quality Arkansas sourced, pasture raised, all natural, USDA inspected meat that fulfills the needs and budgets of today's families.​​


For producers and consumers alike, various problems were brought to light during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the problems that acutely affected every American was the sudden lag in meat production. The average family was willing to pay double for hamburger meat of much less value than they were accustomed to. This drastic price increase, plus drop in quality, was not caused by grocery stores price gouging, or intentional product substitution. It was simply a natural response to a decrease in processing, and thus a decrease in supply.
Meat processing plants were hit hard with COVID-19, causing shutdowns, slow or stalled work environments, and a massive decrease in packaging production. Consumers were unable to get meat at reasonable prices at the grocery store. Meanwhile, producers were having to settle for lower prices for their cattle. It was a lose/lose for everyone.
We at Natural State Beef immediately recognized the situation for what it was: a natural result from maintaining a food supply chain that was too long, with too many unreliable components. With 23,000+ cattle farms in Arkansas, we should always be able to keep our neighbors and friends fed with high quality beef at an affordable price. However, with so many failing and struggling components in our supply chain, we were instantly in a crisis unable to fill the demands of consumers, as well as producers.
Our goal is to shorten the supply chain. Natural State Beef sources high quality, all-natural Arkansas procured cattle and has them professionally butchered by clean, and ethical USDA inspected plants. Our supply chain is new, efficient, and separate from all others.
The concept is simple: Arkansas farmers feeding American families.
