How a family that moved to Missouri in 2024 came to raise beef, and why we sell it straight to you.
Legacy Falls Ranch is Josh and Kayla Thomas and our five kids. We moved to Missouri in 2024 with one goal: to build something that would leave a legacy for our family. Today we run about 100 head of cattle on 300 acres.
We homeschool, so the ranch doubles as our classroom. The kids are right there with us for calving, bottle feeding, tagging, hauling hay and fixing fence.
The name says what we're after. We want to hand our children more than land and cattle: healthy pastures, a good herd, and the know-how to take care of both. Every decision on this place gets measured by what it leaves behind.
Our herd rotates through our pastures so the grass gets time to rest and the cattle always have fresh forage in front of them. We keep a record on every animal: when it was born, who its mother is, every pasture move and every vet check.
They're grass-fed for most of their lives, then finished on a little grain at the end for marbling and tenderness. All of our beef is antibiotic-free.
Our bundles, and anything we ship, are processed at a USDA-inspected facility.
Every package of beef has a family behind it. We'd like you to know ours.
Rotational grazing keeps our pastures healthy, and healthy grass is where good beef starts.
No mystery about where it came from or how it was raised. Ask us anything.
No middleman. The family that raised it is the family you buy it from.
Keeping up with a growing herd on paper and memory wasn't working, so we built our own tool. Herd Chaser tracks our cattle, calving, pasture rotations and ranch budget from a phone, right out in the field.
Other ranchers asked to use it, so now it's available to them too. It's built by working ranchers, for working ranchers.
