Thomas Cattle Company is a family operated angus cattle ranch
Located in Oreana, Idaho.
TCC is a family operation run by two generations of livestock producers. TCC raises commercial angus, registered black angus bulls and sells direct to consumer beef 1/4, 1/2 or whole shares as well as small packs. The Thomas family lives and ranches in Oreana, ID, a small ranching community 1 hour southeast of Boise, Idaho and their ranching history dates back multiple generations.
TCC’s philosophy is hustle and hard work. We believe that through planning and thoughtful direction in where we want to go as a ranch and business we can accomplish great things. We take care of the land we steward because it is an important part of our success and we want to pass our ranch down to our kids for generations to come.

Frequently asked questions
How good is your beef?
Typically our beef grades at prime or choice, the top two grades of beef available that you would receive in a nice restaurant. We deliver that same quality beef directly to you; at a lower price than the cost you’d pay in a nice restaurant.
Do you deliver?
The beef from Wakefield Meats in Melba will need to be picked up from them directly by the customer. If you order clear vacuum seal, that will need to be picked up at Greenfield Custom Meats in Meridian. Please let us know if you need delivery or can’t pick yours up for some reason. We will work something out to get you your beef.
We also ship smaller beef orders directly to your front doorstep! Check out those details by clicking here.
What cuts of meat will I get?
That’s up to you. We want the package count and cuts to work for you and your family. You can choose how many steaks per package, how thick, etc.
There are limitations if you go down to ¼ beef but ½ or more, you get to choose your cuts and talk with us or the butcher about what you want.
If there are requests for really specialized cuts or items, there may be a small upcharge that you would be responsible to cover beyond the cost per lb paid to TCC.
How long can I freeze my beef once I get it?
White butcher paper: 1 year
Vacuum Seal: 1 – 2 years
What’s in the feed you give your herd?
For 85% of the life of our beef, they graze feed in the Owyhee Mountains and our ranches in southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The cows and calves head up the mountains in March and then in October and November of each year, we are moving them back down the mountains to our homeplace in Oreana, ID.
For the last 60-90 days of their life, they are fed a ration of grass and alfalfa grown on our ranch, with a side of corn. This provides superior marbling and taste in TCC all natural beef.
