Speaker 1: studio today, Troy Hadrick from Hadrick Ranch that's located near Fulton,
Speaker 1: South Dakota, and Troy, You've been a rancher your entire life.
Speaker 1: Your whole family has been doing this for quite a while,
Speaker 1: haven't you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so my family, the Hadrick family, moved up into
Speaker 2: that area in nineteen ten, So we've been around the
Speaker 2: Falnketon area for quite a while now and several generations.
Speaker 2: So I'm actually fifth generation in my family to ranch
Speaker 2: in the US and raising the sixth generation now. And
Speaker 2: so yeah, I've been around cows my entire life, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I just can't imagine doing anything else really.
Speaker 1: And as a rancher, it's awesome to have the cows,
Speaker 1: but those cows eventually become beef and that's kind of
Speaker 1: the main point of being a rancher, really, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The only way you stay in the ranch in
Speaker 2: business is somebody he's eating some beef somewhere in the world.
Speaker 2: So we uh yeah, And a few years ago, you know,
Speaker 2: we kind of started looking at things a little differently,
Speaker 2: just you know, as COVID make everybody kind of re
Speaker 2: evaluate a lot of things. And and at the time,
Speaker 2: we used to ship a lot of cattle south down
Speaker 2: into Kansas to finish them, and and you know, kind
Speaker 2: of doing a pretty traditional marketing system into some of
Speaker 2: the bigger packing plants and stuff, and and that really
Speaker 2: gave us an opportunity to start looking at, you know,
Speaker 2: is there a way to do this differently? I mean
Speaker 2: we we you know, we have you know, almost more
Speaker 2: cattle in the in South Dakota than any other state
Speaker 2: or something like fifth in the nation, you know, and
Speaker 2: I think we have four or five cows for every
Speaker 2: person that lives in our state. And so it's like,
Speaker 2: why are we sending all these cattle out of state
Speaker 2: when we got people here that we could feed. And
Speaker 2: and we were very fortunate then to kind of tie
Speaker 2: up with Vanguard Hospitality here in Six Falls, and uh,
Speaker 2: you know, a restaurants were going through a lot during
Speaker 2: COVID as well, and and it was real fun. We
Speaker 2: started looking at each other and said, well, geez, what
Speaker 2: would it take for, you know, for us to get
Speaker 2: beef into your restaurants and and let's see if we
Speaker 2: keep our food system more local and maybe avoid some
Speaker 2: of the problems that we were seeing during COVID and
Speaker 2: so and from there it's really grown. And so we're
Speaker 2: really excited that we have we have five restaurants and
Speaker 2: who falls that serve our beef and now we're trying
Speaker 2: to make it even more available to people to buy
Speaker 2: directly from us.
Speaker 1: And these are five premier restaurants, some of the best
Speaker 1: in talent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're pretty excited. I mean, Mary's Steakhouse, Grill twenty six,
Speaker 2: Minerva's Paramount Bar, and JJ's Wine Cocktail Bar. You know,
Speaker 2: those are all great places to eat, and they got
Speaker 2: fantastic chefs and so it's really fun to work with
Speaker 2: that much talent in their kitchens.
Speaker 1: And these restaurants are known for having amazing food. And
Speaker 1: to know that some of the beef anyway is coming
Speaker 1: from Hadrick Ranch, that is a huge compliment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. I mean we've you know, several
Speaker 2: years ago. I even go back to when I was
Speaker 2: in college. That was I was been around cows on
Speaker 2: my life, but I didn't understand, you know, as much
Speaker 2: about the other side. How do we turn cattle into
Speaker 2: beef and how do we feed people with it? And
Speaker 2: I learned a lot about that then, and I was
Speaker 2: really interested in continuing to the quality of the beef
Speaker 2: we're raising, and so that's been a huge point of
Speaker 2: emphasis for us and over the years, and we've got
Speaker 2: the data the shows, you know that we've done a
Speaker 2: really good job of that. We've been we've received some
Speaker 2: national awards from Certified Angus BEE for the quality of
Speaker 2: our beef and and that was all great. And now
Speaker 2: we've been able to like, hey, you know what, let's
Speaker 2: try and keep this a little more local on some
Speaker 2: of this. And so we'll work with some local processors
Speaker 2: up in the north central part of the state, northeast
Speaker 2: part of the state, and so we feed them all here,
Speaker 2: we process them all here, and then we hope people
Speaker 2: in our area will think of us when they want
Speaker 2: to eat some high quality beef.
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons we're visiting with Troy today
Speaker 1: at Hedrick Ranch. Usually when you're talking to somebody like that,
Speaker 1: you're asking for a half a beef for you know,
Speaker 1: a quarter of beef, and then you got to have
Speaker 1: a freezer to put all this stuff. The good news
Speaker 1: is between now and Christmas they have some really cool
Speaker 1: Christmas bundles where it's a lot smaller set up. You
Speaker 1: don't need to have like a huge freezer. If people
Speaker 1: would like to take advantage of that, is it best
Speaker 1: if they just like go directly to your website.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you can go to Hadrick Ranch dot com
Speaker 2: and if you click on shop there you'll see all
Speaker 2: the things we have available. So we really try to
Speaker 2: have something for everybody. We have bundle sizes that start
Speaker 2: at eight pounds and go all the way up to
Speaker 2: five hundred pounds. Nice and so there are a variety
Speaker 2: of things you get, some steaks and roasts. You can
Speaker 2: just have ground beef if you want, but we have
Speaker 2: those available there. We offer free shipping across the US

Speaker 2: your smiling face and we shake your hand and we'll
Speaker 2: put the beef in your car for you nice, or
Speaker 2: if we can find a ride for it, you know,
Speaker 2: typical South Dakota. You know, if we're somebody in our

Speaker 1: this for a long time since nineteen ten. And back
Speaker 1: in nineteen ten, they weren't selling beef on the internet.
Speaker 1: The internet didn't even exist yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there wasn't much it existed in nineteen ten up
Speaker 2: in Fall County. And so yeah, things have changed.

Speaker 2: in bulk like this, you know, and they're trying to
Speaker 2: figure out, you know, is this going to fit in
Speaker 2: my freezer? You know, how much is this? You know?
Speaker 2: Sometimes you know, twenty or fifty pounds and he sounds
Speaker 2: like a lot, and then you kind of put it
Speaker 2: there and it's like, well, stuff's pretty heavy. So yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe it looks different than what you thought in your mind.
Speaker 2: So we just always encourage people to ask us the questions.
