The best kept secret in steak is no longer a secret. We’re happy to announce that we’ve recently joined forces with Sweetwood Cattle Co. to offer several of their exquisite steak gift packs on The Man Registry. This means that you can now show your appreciation for the best man, groomsmen and ushers with an edible, mouth watering assortment of some of the tastiest steak (the gift packs work great for holiday shopping as well)! Our filet, ribeye, strip and Grand Champion assortment will ship to you directly to you from our USDA facility via 2day air to ensure the highest quality and freshness.

Hunger incuding: the Sweetwood Cattle Co. strip steak

Sweetwood Cattle is the creation of Ryan Wood, a former NFL player and co-founder of Under Armour. Ryan gave up the corporate life to pursue his dream of owning a cattle ranch in his native Colorado. The ranch, located near Steamboat Springs, measures 652 acres and is the source for some of the highest quality beef this writer has ever tasted. The secret to Sweetwood’s success isn’t much of a secret at all.. it’s just good ‘ol fashion American beef raising.

From Ryan:

“Our feed program is sustainable from top to bottom. Our cattle are raised on grass from birth to 15 months, and then introduced to blended grains from Colorado along with a ‘sweet’ treat that we’ve created for added energy and overall health. A calculated amount of sugar from beets grown in Colorado and various natural herbs give our cattle a natural boost of energy during critical winter months. No hormones, no antibiotics, no shortcuts.” – via American Cowboy

So whether you’re in the market for some edible wedding party gifts or holding a bachelor party cookout — we highly recommend checking out Sweetwood’s offerings. You’ll thank us later!
