Why is my order being shipped from Texas?

A lot of you have asked why my RANGE beef shipping from Texas.  The simplest way to answer that is logistics.  There isn’t a facility here in Montana that can pick, pack, and ship our products.  We did it ourselves for a while but shipping from Northern Montana became very expensive.  In order to keep our costs down and get you our great wagyu beef we found a location in Texas that can do all of that. Cost and weather are a huge factor from shipping from Montana. We came up with the solution to ship out of Texas to get all customers our great beef more efficiently in all locations across the country.
