The National Registry of American Beef Producers
Connect with registered American beef producers in your area and buy directly from the source.
Discover registered American beef producers in your area and connect directly with the ranchers who raise your beef.
Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, or select a state. With the map focused, the arrow keys pan and the plus and minus keys zoom. Every state outline and every ranch marker is reachable by keyboard, and every ranch on the map is also on its own state page, so no producer is reachable only through the map. A member's marker is that ranch's membership badge, drawn larger at the higher levels. A free Registered Producer is a black dot on its own state, and an unclaimed Unregistered Producer record is a gray dot, which opens an invitation to the owner to claim the profile rather than a page.

American Beef Direct is where you find American raised beef close to home: local beef farms, cattle ranches and family producers selling beef direct to consumers. We are the registry, not the store. Every listing leads to the producer, and you buy from the farmer or rancher who raised it.
Looking for a beef farm or a cattle ranch near you? Search the map or open your state to see the local beef producers on record there, from small family farms to ranches that have run cattle for generations. Each profile tells you how the cattle are raised and finished and how the producer sells: farm fresh beef by the cut, ranch raised beef by the box, or a whole, half or quarter beef share for the freezer.
The registry lists American farms and ranches only, so the beef you find here is raised in the USA by people you can name, and ask: where the calf was born, what it ate, and where it was processed. That is the difference between buying local beef and reading a label.

Your ranch deserves to be seen.
American Beef Direct is the national registry and membership network for American beef producers. Register free, and get your ranch in front of consumers looking for American beef.
Support American agriculture by buying directly from the people who raise it.
