Our Family's Heritage

George Logan Mundorf began fattening livestock for market in the 1870’s not long after he purchased his first eighty acres in 1873. Growing his operation rapidly, G.L. was soon shipping hundreds of animals to the Union Stockyards in Chicago Illinois. G.L. and his crew would drive the cattle ten miles to the railyard in nearby Griswold, Iowa where they were loaded onto “stock cars”, bound for Chicago, 400 miles away. 

Our Family’s Heritage

Once unloaded in Chicago the cattle would be penned and fed by a “stock agent” a seller representative charged with negotiating the price with the local beef slaughterhouses surrounding the stockyards in. Once a price was agreed upon, the cattle would be driven on foot to the winning bidder’s slaughterhouse. They would then be processed into the finest beef on earth and shipped to steakhouses and butcher shops across the eastern United States.

Our Family's Heritage

Sometime in the early part of the twentieth century G.L.’s son, George Walker switched to selling cattle at the nearby Omaha Stockyards. As a young boy I (Jeff) remember walking across the boardwalks elevated above the stockyards there over forty years ago. Plank board pens full of cattle stretched out below far into the distance. Cowboys moved cattle horseback in and out of pens and to the surrounding packinghouses much the same as a hundred years prior in Chicago during my great-great grandfather’s era.

Our Family's Heritage

It was a dying remnant of a golden era of livestock production in the Midwest, and I am grateful that I got to witness it. My father, Gary and I sold cattle at the Omaha Stockyards until the late 1990’s. They are gone now, as are most of the small family farm feeders that used to supply America with beef.

Buying Iowa Beef: Questions Answered

How are your cattle raised?

At Mundorf Heritage Beef, our cattle are pasture-raised in a rotational grazing system where they graze various grasses and legumes. During their first winter, calves are fed free choice home-raised hay and a limited amount of corn. Our cattle are fattened on a rotational grazing system of forage supplemented by a modest amount of corn to maximize the flavor and marbling of the beef. We believe in providing a stress-free environment to ensure the health and well-being of our animals, which translates into the best quality beef for your family.

Is your beef USDA processed?

Yes, all of our beef is USDA inspected and processed to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. Each cut is vacuum-sealed to lock in freshness, so you can enjoy premium beef with confidence when it arrives at your door.

What makes Mundorf Heritage Beef unique?

Mundorf Heritage Beef stands out because we raise every ounce of beef we sell from birth on our family-owned farm. Our cattle receive optimum nutrition from the grass and grain we raise. We have six generations spanning over 150 years of traditions and experience combined with Animal Science bachelor’s degrees held by Jeff and Walker. Our expertise results in productive, efficient Angus cattle bred to produce the best premium Angus beef available. Each process step, from field to fork, is handled with care and expertise.

How do I order your beef?

Order beef boxes and bundles online for shipping within the continental United States. To stock a freezer, compare our quarter, half and whole beef shares. Shares use a deposit and a separately arranged fulfillment schedule; contact us before reserving if you need to confirm delivery or pickup.

Do you use antibiotics or added hormones?

We never use added hormones or antibiotics to enhance growth or performance. If an animal ever requires treatment, it is solely to protect its health and comfort. We believe caring for our cattle the right way is essential to raising quality beef.

Is Mundorf beef 100% grass-finished?

No. Our Angus cattle are pasture-raised and grass-fed, then finished with forage supplemented by corn. If you specifically need 100% grass-finished beef, that is a different feeding program. We explain ours clearly so you can choose the beef that suits your household.

Which beef box should I try first?

The First Taste Sampler Box is a smaller introduction with a ribeye, a New York strip, a filet and three pounds of ground beef. For more steaks, explore the Dry-Aged Reserve Steak Box. For everyday meals, choose ground beef in 15-, 25- or 50-pound quantities.

What is the difference between a beef box and a beef share?

A box contains the cuts and quantities listed on its product page and follows our regular boxed-beef shipping process. A beef share reserves a portion of an animal for a larger freezer order. Compare approximate take-home weights, total price, deposit and fulfillment timing on the Beef Shares page before choosing.

How much beef comes in a quarter, half or whole share?

Our share listings estimate approximately 100 pounds for a quarter beef, 200 pounds for a half beef and 400 pounds for a whole beef. These are approximate packaged take-home weights, not guaranteed exact yields. Check the product page for the current total price and non-refundable deposit before reserving.

When do beef boxes ship and how do they arrive?

Boxed beef ships Monday through Wednesday in insulated packaging with coolant. Most orders arrive one to three business days after shipment, depending on destination. This is transit time, not a guaranteed delivery date from the moment you order. Read our shipping policy and contact us for timing-sensitive orders.

Can I have Iowa beef delivered outside Iowa?

Yes. Boxed beef ships within the continental United States. See our guides for Chicago, Minneapolis, Green Bay, Des Moines and Iowa City. A city guide does not mean we have a retail store there; all our beef comes from our Iowa farm.

How long is your beef dry-aged?

Our steaks and beef shares are dry-aged for up to 21 days. Our ground beef is dry-aged for 14 days. Dry aging is part of our processing approach, not a claim that every item has the same aging period. Check the individual product description for the details of your order.
