tender by design™: FRESHNESS. LOCKED IN.

Unpredictability is a major challenge in the beef industry. There is variance in quality of beef, driven by the time of year, and price can fluctuate up and down almost without warning. Until now, it hasn’t been possible to lock in the "best quality" along with consistency in price, while still providing just the right amount of inventory for your daily needs all through the year.

Enter Tender by Design™ – a revolutionary process by which frozen beef can be just as high-quality as fresh AND offers the convenience operators need:
