Welcome to the River Bend Meats farm!
The grass-fed, grass-finished difference.
Why is grass-fed, grass-finished beef such a big deal? What does it mean?
Put simply, farmers have the option of feeding their cattle grass, or grain.
Grass-fed means that the cattle are fed grass for their entire grazing life. Grass-finished means there's no sneaking in some grain every now and then, cattle eat only grass until they are harvested.
With grass-fed beef the meat itself is leaner. It has less fat deposited throughout vs grain-fed or grain-finished cattle, so it is healthier meat that's bursting with natural flavour.
Read some of our reviews to hear about how good it tastes. You can seriously taste the difference on your first bite.
Being grass-fed AND finished, our cattle roam freely on lush pastures. It's also better for the land, improving soil health and cutting down on nasty chemicals. Plus, the cows are happier roaming about our family farm!
The Process
We start with an average weight of 180kg dressed (bone-in) weight for a full beef carcass and 90kg for a half beef carcass, which gives us a starting price of $2700 and $1485 respectively (plus 1.7% payment processing fee), and we take this payment as you checkout the order.
Step 1
We process your carcass and provide you the accurate dressed weight. At this time, you’ll either pay the additional amount required, or receive a partial refund if the dressed weight comes in over or under the amount you’ve already paid.
STEP 2
You select your cuts. We’ll provide you a list of options called a cutting list, where you can nominate your preferences on things like mince amount, sausage sizes, and steak options. You don’t have to be a beef connoisseur, we’ll help give you an overview and breakdown some common options.
Step 3
We’ll cut down and prepare your order either the day before or the day of delivery to you. Our butchers have decades of experience and this is where the magic happens. You have the option to pay for your beef to be vacuum-sealed for extra shelf-life at time of checkout, otherwise it will be split across and labelled into BPA free plastic butcher bags.
Step 4
It's time to deliver your beef! When you complete your cutting list, we’ll lock in a date to deliver your beef to you in our refrigerated delivery van. We’ll help you load your beef into your fridge/freezers. Remember, this can be a LARGE amount of beef, so make sure you have the storage space for it all!

Welcome to River Bend Meats
Located in the beautiful Hunter Valley (Lochinvar to be precise!)
Our story is simple
We moved in and got a few lawnmowers to keep the grass down. Turns out, those lawnmowers tasted really good! So we got a few more, and River Bend Meats was born.
Our farm is 150 acres in size, focused on sustainable and responsible farming. It's not about being the biggest; it's about doing things right. The family keep a low profile, but are proud of their work and love to share it with others. We blend traditional ways with new methods to take care of our land and animals.
We're known for our high-quality meat, we choose each item carefully to make sure it's the best. Our farming practices are sustainable and regenerative, which makes our meat not only tastier but also healthier and ethical.
We're deeply connected to our community. It's important to us to share what we produce with those around us. Whether you're in Newcastle or Muswellbrook, our products bring the natural goodness of the Hunter Valley to you.
