COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Info You’re After
WHAT ARE THE PAYMENT OPTIONS?
We have a couple different payment options powered by Wix. This allows us to take most credit/debt cards. We also offer Affirm which allows you to pay for your purchase up to 36 months to help spread out the overall cost of the purchase.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE "MAVERICK CLUB?"
The Maverick Club is a special offering we decided on after much request. We offer free shipping on all orders regardless of size, members will always have first access to our best and highest graded products, and a special gift with each order.
WHAT IS YOUR POLICY ON RETURNS OR DAMAGED PRODUCTS?
Beef is all shipped frozen with either ice packs or dry ice. Beef should be mostly frozen when received and ice packs or dry ice should still be frozen when received. Beef will last 12 months frozen or 5-7 days once thawed. If you have any issues please contact us.
CAN BEEF BE ENJOYED REGULARLY AS PART OF A HEALTHY, BALANCED DIET?
Absolutely! A 3-ounce serving of beef—about the size of an iPhone—provides more than 10 essential nutrients including protein, iron, zinc and vitamins B12 and B6. One serving of beef contains about half of your Daily Value for protein in around 170 calories on average (and just 150 calories for a serving of lean beef).
WHAT NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS DOES BEEF OFFER ME THAT OTHER PROTEINS DON’T?
Beef is a nutritional powerhouse in a smaller package than other protein foods. Apart from being a great source of protein, it would take 8 ounces of cooked chicken breast to eat the same amount of iron as in just 3 ounces of beef, and nearly 7 times (20 ounces) the amount of chicken to get the same amount of zinc in a serving of beef!
ARE THERE ANTIBIOTICSÂ IN MY BEEF?
All meat, poultry and dairy foods sold in the U.S. are free of antibiotic residues, as required by federal law — whether or not the food is labeled "antibiotic free."
WHAT ABOUT HORMONES IN BEEF?
​It is true that beef from hormone-implanted cattle has increased estrogenic activity compared with non-implanted beef. This fact alone may alarm beef consumers, but it must be put into the context of actual amount consumed and the levels found in other products. As shown below, beef from a non-implanted steer contains 0.85 units of estrogenic activity per 3 oz. serving, while beef from an implanted steer contains 1.2 units of estrogenic activity in the same serving. However, this amount is a fraction of what is found in many other common foods. For example, the same quantity of eggs would provide 94 units of estrogenic activity and a 3 oz. serving of tofu would provide 19,306,004 units of estrogenic activity. In fact, a normal adult male produces 136,000 ng of estrogen per day while a non-pregnant woman produces 513,000 ng/day on average, making consumption of the levels of estrogen in implanted beef relatively inconsequential.

WHAT IS DRY AGING?
In essence, dry aging is when you take a piece of meat and put it into a controlled open-air environment to go through a flavour transformation. By exposing the meat to air, moisture is pulled out and the natural enzymes in the beef break the muscles down slowly over time, making it more tender.
