Life is like a box of chocolates, and so are our mixer boxes! Each Souris Flats Ranch Beef Mixer Box is unique, with the same ratio of roasts, steaks, and ground beef in a variety of cuts. So, like a box of chocolates, you don't know exactly what you are going to get. But, the chocolate industry found a way to provide their customers with relevant consumer information on their chocolate adventure, and so have we! We have built a Beef Mixer Box Legend that includes ALL the cuts of beef from our cut list to guide you in your cooking adventure!

I shared in a previous blog post the reasons why we do mixer boxes. Mixer boxes allow us to sell small quantities of beef and lamb directly to customers sustainably and without waste. Our mixer boxes are built by using the ratios of cuts produced from each beef that we process. This means that each box includes approximately 27% steak, 28% roasts, 18% ground beef, 18% stew meat, and 4% short ribs. Each mixer box is unique because we are using all the cuts produced from each individual beef.

We made our Beef Mixer Box Legend in response to questions asking for more information. Each cut is listed with a description, size/quantity of a unit, price by weight, and cooking suggestion. Your Souris Flats Ranch beef mixer box will come with a paper copy of our Official Beef Mixer Box Guide to help you identify and prepare the items that you receive in your beef mixer box. We hope that you enjoy learning more about the food that we grow, and that you are inspired to try new recipes and cooking methods!
We are passionate about the way we raise our beef and lamb. Your purchase of beef and lamb in mixer boxes supports our family farm, local food systems, and regenerative agriculture! Thank you and happy cooking!
