Our take on the Ranch Hand
Ranch Hand is a premium 85/15 ground beef sold frozen, made from cattle raised without added growth hormones and without antibiotics. The 85/15 lean-to-fat ratio is the middle ground for ground beef: enough fat to keep burgers juicy and chili rich, but leaner than 80/20. It suits households that want a freezer staple for weeknight burgers, tacos and chili. Against conventional supermarket ground beef, its draw is the no-hormone, no-antibiotic sourcing rather than a leaner grind or a grass-fed claim.
