About Wagon Beef Hammer
About Us
Our Family Story:
We are the Cutler family.
From our home base in Montana, we manage every step of our cattle's journey with a simple philosophy: Take care of the land, take care of the animals, and the rest will follow.
Focusing on direct-to-consumer beef, we choose not to ship our beef nationwide. Instead, we focus strictly on feeding our neighbors across Montana and our surrounding regional communities.
By keeping our logistics local, we can guarantee the highest quality control, cut down on unnecessary transportation stress, and hand-deliver a superior product straight from our local artisanal butcher to you.
Our herd is raised in a pasture-centered environment, meeting rigorous Step 4 GAP standards to ensure premium quality, clean protein, and unmatched peace of mind. When you open a pack of our beef, you know the exact pastures it grazed on and the family that looked after it.
We’re proud to be your local BEEF producers. Welcome to the family.
What Makes Us Different
Wagon Hammer Beef is different because our beef is raised with transparency, care, and verified standards — not just promises. We operate at a GAP Step 4 level, which means our cattle are not simply “humanely raised”; they are truly pasture-raised. They spend their entire lives outdoors on the range, with room to graze, roam, and live naturally.
Our GAP certification is a third-party, audit-verified standard that confirms our commitment to animal welfare and responsible ranching. An independent auditor visits our ranch to inspect our animals, review our records, and verify that our practices meet strict requirements. It is an open-book approach that gives our customers confidence in how their beef was raised.
Our cattle are raised with no confinement, no crowding, no growth hormones, no animal by-products, and no sub-therapeutic antibiotics. We focus on animal health, natural behaviors, and a low-stress lifestyle because we believe well-cared-for cattle produce better beef.
We carefully select our cattle for longevity, carcass quality, and adaptability to our Southwest Montana environment. They are pasture-raised and grain finished for exceptional flavor, tenderness, and quality.
When you buy Wagon Hammer Beef, you are buying beef raised by a family that knows every step of the process — from pasture to plate.
OUR GAP CERTIFICATION MEANS
No Crowding
Our cattle have the space to move, graze, and behave naturally, which supports better animal welfare and lower stress.
No Growth Hormones or Sub-Therapeutic Antibiotics
Our cattle grow naturally, without growth hormones or routine antibiotic use for production purposes.
No Animal By-Products
Our cattle are fed a natural vegetarian diet, with no animal by-products ever.
Audited Yearly
An independent auditor verifies our practices, animals, and records, so customers do not have to take our word for it alone.

A ¼ beef share is processed as a "split quarter."
Because the front half of a beef side has completely different cuts than the back half, a split quarter ensures you get an equal share of both the premium front quarter cuts and the tender hind-quarter cuts. Giving you a fair mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef from the entire side of the animal.
Here is the typical list of the cuts you will take home in a standard 1/4 beef share:
1. Premium Steaks
These are the high-value, tender cuts everyone looks forward to, packaged two per pack.
Ribeye Steaks: 4 to 6 cuts
T-Bone / Porterhouse Steaks: 4 to 6 cuts
Top Sirloin Steaks: 3 to 4 cuts
Flank or Skirt Steak: 1 cut (depending on how it’s split)
2. Slow-Cooking Roasts
Perfect for crockpots, Dutch ovens, and cold winter nights. These are usually packaged as 2.5 to 3 lb roasts.
