At Oakcreek, we raise our buffalo naturally on grassy pastures without growth hormones, steroids, subtherapeutic antibiotics, castration, pesticides or grain in their diet. Our Buffalo meat is sold at the farm and at local farmers markets. Arrangements can be made for delivery to neighboring communities. We do not ship frozen or fresh meat at this time. The current price list on this page is only for meat purchased at the farm. At this time, the only meats that we ship are the shelf stable SUMMER SAUSAGES and SNACK STICKS. These delicious products may be shipped without refrigeration and for a reasonable shipping rate. Refrigeration is required once the product is opened.
16 oz chub of SUMMER SAUSAGE only $5.99
You are charged exact weight, so the average chub is $5.80. It is
delicious sliced and served with crackers and cheese.
SNACK STICKS come in a package of 6 large ready to eat sticks that weigh
about 1/10 lb and cost about 80 cents per stick. Compare this with
single sticks at over twice the price. Actual weight will be charged
at $7.50/lb. The price on the package in this picture for example is
$4.80.

State Meat Inspections are now available in 28 states. Standards for state inspections must be "equal to OR GREATER THAN" UDSA standards. This is good news for the consumer because it supports local farmers and businesses and provides a locally grown HIGHER QUALITY OF PRODUCT. Meat from Oakcreek Buffalo Ranch is inspected and packaged in a USDA plant. Much of the further processing of sausages for Oakcreek is done under state meat inspection and proudly bears the label of the STATE OF MISSOURI.
DID YOU KNOW? That as much as 20% of meat sold in American supermarkets
is
imported from countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Canada,
New Zealand, and Australia. While inspections in many of
these countries are as good as that in the US, in some countries
the inspections are woefully inadequate.
DID YOU KNOW? The UDSA now has a voluntary "country of origin" labeling program underway. We recommend you ASK for "country of origin" labeling at your supermarkets to support this program. It is expected to become mandatory in coming years.
DID YOU KNOW? That most fast food chains import much of the meat
sold in
their burgers. McDonalds has been a hold out, supporting
American farmers to the
tune of nearly a billion lbs of meat per year. Now that policy
is crumbling as
McDonalds announced this year it is testing imported meat in some
of its southern
restaurants. To their credit, they are promising to use only New
Zealand and Australian beef where inspection standards are good.
The reason they give for the policy change is that they need
inexpensive, LEAN meat to mix with the high fat meat from American feedlots.
This inexpensive, lean meat usually comes from culled older cows
which are supposedly in short supply at this time. So it is
a matter of healthier meat and lower dollars which are determining
policy.
