The Riverbend Ranch Difference
At Riverbend Ranch, we do things a little differently. Our mornings start before sunrise, and our meetings happen on horseback, not in boardrooms. That’s because we’re not just raising cattle we’re continuing a legacy of quality, care, and commitment to excellence in American ranching.
A Legacy of Premium Angus Beef
Founded in 1991 by Frank and Belinda VanderSloot, Riverbend Ranch began with one bold goal: to build one of the top Black Angus cattle herds in the United States. Frank spent over 30 years hand-selecting cattle from elite Angus herds across the country, investing millions to create a seedstock program that’s now recognized as one of the best in America.
Every animal in our herd has been selected using industry-leading data, evaluating EPDs, muscle structure, skeletal soundness, and overall performance. That dedication to quality earned Riverbend Ranch the 2016 Seedstock Commitment to Excellence Award from the American Angus Association for our Certified Angus Beef program.
Raised Right on the Range
All of our Riverbend Ranch cattle are born and raised right here in the USA. They graze freely on nearly 290,000 acres of pristine high-elevation ranchland across Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, some of the most beautiful and nutrient-rich pastures in the country.
We never use growth hormones or feed antibiotics. It’s a natural, ethical approach that results in healthier cattle and a noticeably better-tasting beef.
From Pasture to Plate: Quality You Can Taste
We don’t just raise the cattle, we finish the job ourselves. All of our beef is processed in our own state-of-the-art facility, where it’s aged to perfection to enhance flavor and tenderness. By controlling every step of the process, we’re able to deliver premium Angus beef at exceptional value.
Just one bite and you’ll understand the Riverbend Ranch difference: beef that’s tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor.
Innovation Rooted in Tradition
Riverbend Ranch hosts some of the largest cattle sales in the nation, drawing in cattlemen, ranchers, and families who share our passion for quality. As a fifth-generation operation, we combine modern techniques with time-honored values—led by a team of skilled ranchers who live and breathe the ranching lifestyle.
We’re proud to stand for hard work, family tradition, and the belief that doing things the right way still matters.
Steaks from Riverbend Ranch
Riverbend Ranch steaks offer a true taste of American excellence. Our USDA Choice and USDA Prime cuts are raised on family-owned ranches across Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, never given hormones or antibiotics upholding our “Never Ever” promise. From rich Ribeyes to tender Filets, every steak is hand-selected, hand-trimmed, and aged to bring out bold flavor and exceptional tenderness.
The Ribeye is known for its marbling and mouthwatering juiciness, perfect for backyard grilling or a steakhouse-quality dinner at home. Our 14-ounce Prime New York Strip delivers a hearty, beef-forward bite with a smooth texture that stands out on any plate. For a more refined experience, the 8-ounce Choice Filet Mignon offers melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that makes every bite special.
We also offer steak bundles that fit every lifestyle, including the Riverbend Rancher, Cowboy, Sheridan (Prime), and City Slicker (Prime) boxes. These curated selections feature an array of premium steaks along with tenderloin tips and ground beef—so you’re always stocked with high-quality, flavorful beef.
With convenient shipping and flexible subscription options, Riverbend Ranch makes it easy to enjoy steaks that are raised with care, aged to perfection, and delivered right to your door. This is steak the way it was meant to be.
