Carter Country Meats

Welcome to Carter Country | Since 1964

Carter Country Ranch is nestled in the western slope of the Big Horn Mountains, Wyoming. Our cattle graze on 40,000 pristine acres, nourished by twenty-seven natural springs amidst a landscape of juniper, sagebrush, red dirt, and limestone cliffs. This unspoiled environment contributes to the exceptional quality of our beef.

​

Country Certified

At Carter Country, we pride ourselves on being true stewards of the land. Our commitment to “do no harm” means we focus on raising and sourcing beef that supports both soil health and future sustainability. Our Certified Country standard is a benchmark for nutrient-dense beef, emphasizing regenerative and restorative practices. We encourage you to trust your experience and taste, as our beef is recognized as among the most nutrient-dense in the country.

​

Honest Food from Honest People

The tough yet delicate ecosystem of the arid mountain west, with its powerful grasses, informs our practices. We prioritize the land, constantly striving to improve. Unlike others who exploit resources, we are dedicated to preserving our land and ensuring a legacy for future generations.

​

The Taste of Tradition

We believe that the best beef is raised with respect for nature. Our focus on soil health and natural processes ensures that nutrient density enhances flavor and aroma. Our knowledge, passed down through generations, guides us to harvest only older animals, resulting in beef that, like fine wine, improves with age.

​

The Holy Grail of Beef

Our double-aged, nutrient-dense beef is produced in harmony with nature’s laws, making it some of the rarest, healthiest, and most flavorful beef available. Your palate will attest to its exceptional quality.

​

It's All About the Fat

We focus on fat, where animals store nutrients and toxins. To produce the cleanest, most nutrient-dense fat, our cattle graze for many years on native grasses. This natural process ensures that our beef is rich in essential nutrients and true to the land.

​

Carter Family Tradition

Since 1964, Carter Country Ranch has been a family-driven operation. Mark Johnson Carter, the ranch’s founder, moved his family to Ten Sleep, Wyoming, with a vision of harnessing the land’s potential. His son Richard’s perseverance during challenging times ensured the ranch remained in family hands.

​

Cultivating the Lands

Today, RC Carter and his wife, Annia, continue the family legacy. They are leaders in regenerative agriculture, committed to raising their family and cattle in a way that honors tradition and sustainability. Their dedication to genuine, responsibly-grown food reflects their values of red dirt, family, and tradition.

​

Continuing the Tradition

Carter Country Meats embodies family, tradition, and a commitment to a more honest relationship between land, ranch, and table. We strive for deeper connection and responsibility in our food production, aiming to create an ecologically, socially, and financially responsible food model.
