Farm-Direct Grass-Fed Bulk Beef for Southside Virginia

For families across Southside Virginia—including Danville, Pittsylvania County, South Boston, Halifax, Farmville, Altavista, Gretna, and Martinsville—buying livestock directly from a trusted Virginia farmer has always been the gold standard for quality and value.

Since 1982, Lund Angus Farm in Spout Spring has raised 100% grass-fed Black Angus beef with zero hormones, zero feed antibiotics, and complete pasture freedom. Located right on the northern border of Southside in Campbell County, our butcher partner—USDA-inspected Schrock’s Processing in Gladys—makes pickup fast, convenient, and predictable for Southside families.

Understanding the Cuts & Cooking 100% Grass-Fed Beef

If you’re accustomed to grain-fed supermarket beef, preparing 100% grass-fed Angus requires just a few simple adjustments to achieve mouthwatering results:

  • Premium Steaks (Ribeye, NY Strip, Sirloin, Filet Mignon): Because pasture-raised beef is naturally leaner, it cooks about 30% faster than grain-fed meat. Sear steaks on high heat in a cast-iron skillet or over lump charcoal to develop a deep brown crust, then lower the heat. We recommend cooking to medium-rare (130°F–135°F) and resting for 5–7 minutes so juices redistribute.
  • Roasts (Chuck Roast, Rump Roast): With our 14-day dry aging, connective tissues break down beautifully. Slow-cook roasts in a Dutch oven or slow cooker with root vegetables, garlic, and beef broth for fork-tender winter dinners.
  • Ground Beef (90–95% Extra Lean): Packed in convenient 1-lb flat bricks with zero added water or industrial filler. Ideal for burgers, meatballs, chili, and weeknight meat sauces without greasiness.
  • Short Ribs & Stew Beef: Collagen-rich braising cuts that melt into deep, savory gravies during slow winter cooking.
