We're South Dakota’s First Certified Angus Beef® Ranch to Table Partner

We're proud to share that Hadrick Ranch is the first in South Dakota to participate in the Certified Angus Beef® (CAB) Ranch to Table™ program. This direct-to-consumer initiative allows approved family ranches to use the CAB® logo on packaging when selling beef directly to consumers, restaurants, and businesses, with only top-tier Angus beef qualifying (typically the upper 8-10%).

To be part of the program, our family ranch meets strict standards, including:

• Membership with the American Angus Association® and a herd primarily influenced by registered Angus genetics.

• Beef Quality Assurance Certification, ensuring leading standards in animal welfare, sustainability, and responsible ranching practices.

• Carcass verification by USDA graders to meet CAB's 10 science-based specifications. Our cattle must also have a predominantly solid-black hide.

Today's consumers want to know the story behind their beef. We're excited that this program allows us to share ours—backed by CAB's 45+ years of proven quality.

Through Ranch to Table, we can now offer CAB-certified beef cuts, bundles, ground beef, and more directly to families and local restaurants. This means maximum freshness and continued support for South Dakota agriculture. CAB also provides marketing resources, branding tools, and added credibility as we grow our offerings while upholding the high standards of our ranch.

We're proud to show what South Dakota ranchers can achieve with superior genetics, sustainable practices, and a commitment to excellence. The program aligns with our values of producing "lights out" flavor you can trust, all while strengthening connections with the people who enjoy it.

It's a huge honor—and a testament to the dedication of our family and team. As we continue to evolve, it's especially meaningful to have our kids, the sixth generation to operate this ranch, be involved.

Look for our CAB Ranch to Table products in select South Dakota restaurants (including partners in Sioux Falls), or shop our bundles and cuts directly from us. Whether it's ribeyes for the grill, T-bones for special dinners, or ground beef for everyday meals, you'll taste the quality that starts right here on our ranch.
