Exceptional Quality, Extraordinary Flavor

---

Est. 8 Angus® is named as homage to our facility’s USDA establishment number – EST. 8. It is a tribute to the heritage, tradition and passion to produce premium beef. 

The legacy of raising cattle and growing crops go hand-in-hand in Iowa and the Upper Midwest. Generations of farmers have had the steadfast conviction to nurture their land and care for their livestock. It is the foundation for the remarkable marbling, superior quality and rich flavor of the Est. 8 Angus™ brand. 

Iowa Premium takes great pride in our role of crafting premium beef. We have a skilled team of butchers that expertly hand-trim every piece of beef. We hand-pack and inspect all of our boxes providing extra attention to the details of delivering a superior product.
