Our Story

About Iowa Premium®, Family Farm Fed Black Angus

The Midwest’s fertile land and ideal climate contribute to the premium quality of our beef, making every bite a savory, satisfying experience. Iowa Premium offers more than just exceptional quality — it tells a true farm-to-table story that connects consumers with how their beef has been raised and grown.

Dedicated farm families in Iowa and neighboring states feed Black Angus cattle a carefully balanced diet of corn and forages grown by the very same families who raise them. This farm-centric approach creates superior marbling, tenderness, and rich flavor.  

These multi-generational farmers nurture both the land and their livestock with the highest standards of integrity and responsible animal care.

When you choose Iowa Premium, you’re not only getting a high-quality product but also supporting hardworking family farmers who take pride in raising cattle with care and integrity. Taste the difference that comes from generations of expertise and dedication to excellence you can trust.

Our specialty is USDA certified Choice beef – and we’re proud to offer a full line of your favorite hand-trimmed cuts to fit every culinary occasion, from succulent steaks to tender roasts. Read on to learn more about our path to better beef.

A better way to animal care

Our Black Angus cattle are brought up with care and nurtured by multigenerational farm families in Iowa and neighboring states, fed a nutritionally balanced diet rich in local corn and forage. Better quality care means better quality beef.

A better way to leave a legacy 

Family farms are passed from generation to generation, and raising top-quality Black Angus cattle isn’t just a job – it’s a way of life. This deep-rooted passion and multi-generational pride continues the heritage of high-quality beef, and we’re honored to say that family legacy shines through in every cut of Iowa Premium.

A better way to sustainability

In Iowa, cattle and corn go hand in hand. Our local family farmer-feeders have been stewards of their land for decades, taking great care to reserve and protect natural resources while managing livestock with integrity to ensure the family legacy is passed on to the next generation – and that the next generation can thrive.
