Porter Road was cheaper than US Wellness’ cheapest listing for 3 of the 15 cuts both sell. US Wellness writes most weights in the product name (“75% Lean Ground Beef - 1 lb.”), so these are clean per-pound prices; a few bulk items use the package weight from its store data. Shipping is left out (see below). Every listing is on the US Wellness Meats price page.
Where US Wellness Meats is good value
44 of its 45 in-stock beef listings carry a grass-finished claim in our data, so it competes with the grass-finished ranches, not with grain-finished steak shops. Its ground beef started at $12.13/lb on Nov 4, 2026; the middle across 108 in-stock ground beef listings at all ranches was $13.95/lb. Porter Road’s cheapest ground beef was $12.99/lb. See the cheapest grass-fed ground beef and bulk ground beef.
It is one of the bigger organ-meat sellers: 6 in-stock organ and organ-blend listings with a weight on Nov 4, 2026, from $9.30/lb (Beef Kidney - 1 lb.). Compare on organ meat prices, the cheapest organ blend and the cheapest beef liver.
Tallow and suet start at $7.82/lb (Beef Tallow (5 Gallon Bucket)), which matters if you cook with it daily (tallow prices). Ground bison was $25.29/lb (bison prices).
US Wellness Meats vs Porter Road and White Oak Pastures
Porter Road is a Kentucky butcher that dry-ages and hand-cuts pasture-raised beef; its cattle are offered a grain supplement on pasture, so it isn’t 100% grass-finished, but its dry-aged steaks are the draw. White Oak Pastures is the closest match to US Wellness: also 100% grass-fed, raised and slaughtered on its own Georgia farm. Every shared cut, side by side: Porter Road vs US Wellness Meats, US Wellness Meats vs White Oak Pastures and Force of Nature vs US Wellness Meats.
Is US Wellness Meats grass-fed and grass-finished?
Yes. Its FAQ (Nov 3, 2026) says all beef, lamb, bison and elk is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished with no grains or feeds at any stage of life, raised with rotational grazing (30 to 45 days of rest between grazings) and no antibiotics, added growth hormones or GMOs. Pork and poultry are pasture-raised with non-GMO grain. Most beef comes from its founding farms in northeast Missouri and western Illinois; some comes from partner US farms and a small number of farms in Tasmania, labeled by origin.
