WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR JERKY USING LOCAL BLACK ANGUS BEEF FROM HERE IN MISSOURI. WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PREPARE IT FOR YOU AND THANKFUL FOR OUR ABILITY TO DO SO. THAT BEING SAID WE ALSO TAKE PRIDE IN OUR FREEDOM. FREEDOM THAT WE HAVE DUE TO THE SACRIFICES OUR MEN AND WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY HAVE TAKEN. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
