Hello, from the gently rolling hills and lush, green pastures of
southern Middle Tennessee!

We are the Dixon family of Dixon Family Meats -
Bill and Gail and our children, Matthew and Anna Grace.

Home, where our story begins, overlooks one of those lush, green pastures and is also nestled in a section of one of the peaceful, wooded areas on our family’s rural Lawrence County, Tennessee, farm.

The psalmist writes in Psalm 50:1, 10-11:

“The Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken,
And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
‘For every beast of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is Mine.’”
 

We do sincerely believe, and live accordingly, that “the thousand hills” and “the cattle” all belong to Him. In light of this fact, we believe cattle should be managed in such a  way that they are allowed to thrive by doing what their  Maker created them to do naturally:  roam and forage on  those lush, green grasses that cover the land that holds a special place
 in the heart of our family.

Free from unnatural stress-filled confinement situations,  cattle roaming the pastures of our family’s farm are  healthy and happy cattle!  Did you know that research has proven that beef is consistently on the tender end of the scale when pre-slaughter stress is minimized? Many people assume that the degree of marbling in meat is a major determinant of tenderness. Research provides differently! Marbling accounts for only 10 percent of the variability in tenderness.  There are numerous other factors involved, including the amount of stress animals are subjected to prior to  slaughter. This accounts for the optimum tenderness of our beef at
