See our About Us page for an introduction to the Justice family. We have been ranching in the South Carolina low country for over 16 years.

Is Chuckwagon Beef organic?
The general public may not realize this, but an operation can be certified “organic” and still grain-fatten its beef. We do not use hormones of any kind and we never feed antibiotics to our animals. We do annually vaccinate our cattle to maintain a healthy herd. We had considered going organic, but raising healthy cattle in a natural setting on a lifetime of grass was more important to us. We feel it is not only better for the animal, but the end result is better tasting and more nutritious as well.
