Studnicka Cattle Co. | Wisconsin Grass Fed, Grass Finished Beef

Hello and welcome to our family farm page. Family and Farming has been all my family has ever known. My family has been farming in the beautiful driftless area region of southwestern Wisconsin in rural Muscoda since settling in the area in the 1870s. Much of my family’s legacy has been built on being pioneers in the industry and caretakers of the land, paving the way for future generations to come. That very premise if why we are here and continuing on our next chapter.

Hi, I am Ryan Studnicka. I am the fifth-generation farmer of the Studnicka family. I attended the local high school, Riverdale and completed my degree at UW-Platteville focusing on Commodity and Price Analysis. Throughout college I would find myself coming home most weekends to help my father with his registered Angus beef herd and crop farming. After college I worked around the state establishing my career in agriculture while always having the itch in having my own beef herd.

In 2014 that dream became a reality when I purchased one of my family’s neighbors’ Black Angus Baldy (mostly white face and mostly black body) herd. At the time I was working and living in Madison. This satisfied my appetite momentarily, being a weekend warrior sort of speak but in the back of my mind knew I wanted to be by my and my dad’s respective herds and operation daily. Opportunity knocked in 2015 when I accepted a position at the local family cheese plant in Muscoda, bringing me home for good! After living in town for a few years and searching relentlessly for my very own farm, a once in a lifetime opportunity came up in 2017. The farm next to my dad’s was going to auction. After much planning, preparing, and utter finger crossing I was fortunate enough to secure the farm at the start of 2018.

Historically I was a cow-calf operation but started to see the inevitable need for long-term sustainability of working directly with the beef consumer. What started as a social media page for family and friends, sharing what we were up to at the farm lead to today’s full product availability. My family always prided themselves in doing what’s best for the family, animals and land. My only hope to continue this strong family tradition. Our products are a direct reflection of our passion and squarely our brand.

Farm-Fresh Beef Roasts and BBQ Delivered to Your Door

ChopLocal’s roasts and BBQ cuts come directly from trusted local farmers and butchers. From brisket and short ribs to prime rib, chuck roast, and arm roast, these hearty cuts are perfect for smoking, braising, or roasting for a flavorful, family-style meal. Order online and have them shipped straight to your door.

How to Cook Beef Roasts

The most popular way to prepare a beef roast is to oven-roast or braise it to your desired doneness.

Start by coating the roast generously with your favorite rub for the best flavor. Whether you prefer smoky, savory, or herb-forward, feel free to get creative with your seasoning.

Always use a meat thermometer to monitor internal temperature throughout the cooking process. Once done, allow the roast to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps lock in juices and enhances tenderness.

Cooking times will vary based on the size and whether your roast is bone-in or boneless.

How to Pick the Perfect Beef Roast

Choosing the right roast depends on your budget, cooking method, and occasion:

Tenderloin Roast – The most tender and often the most expensive roast. Easy to carve and great for special occasions.
Rib or Strip Roasts (Prime Rib) – Rich in flavor and perfect for holidays or feeding a crowd.
Chuck Roasts – Budget-friendly and best when cooked low and slow for fork-tender, flavorful results.

Types of Beef Roasts

Beef Arm Roast
A budget-friendly cut that shines when slow-cooked with vegetables. Comes from the chuck and is also known as the "Beef Clod Heart" or "Beef Shoulder Center."

Chuck Eye Roll
Cut from the chuck primal, chuck rolls are well-marbled and perfect for fall-apart shredded beef. Best seasoned simply and cooked low and slow.

Eye of Round Roast
Lean and affordable, this roast is great for everyday meals. It benefits from marinades or rubs and is best roasted or braised, then sliced thin across the grain.

Beef Rump Roast
Also called the "Bottom Round Rump Roast," this lean cut is great for crockpot meals with carrots and potatoes. Affordable and family-friendly.

Sirloin Tip Roast
Known as the “Knuckle” or “Round Tip Roast,” this cut is lean and inexpensive. It performs well when roasted or smoked and sliced thin for sandwiches.

Tri-Tip Roast
Also known as the "Santa Maria Roast" or "Bottom Sirloin," this triangular cut is tender, flavorful, and perfect for grilling, tacos, or carving stations.

Brisket
Cut from the breast, brisket is ideal for smoking. Apply a generous rub, cook low and slow to 203–205°F, and let rest before slicing.

Brisket Point – Juicier, fattier, and ideal for burnt ends.
Brisket Flat – Leaner, great for slicing or shredding.

Picanha / Coulotte Roast
Also called “Top Sirloin Cap,” this cut is full of flavor thanks to a generous fat cap. Roast or grill low and slow, then slice against the grain.

Prime Rib / Standing Rib Roast
This classic holiday roast is rich, juicy, and impressive. Roast bone-in or boneless with seasoning and let it rest before serving.

Studnicka Cattle Company Reviews

I have bought here for couple of years. Never disappointed! The meats are lean, tender, and full of taste. The new line of sausage sticks and ring bologna are awesome too. Well worth ordering and local too!!

Nathan Updike 03/31/2023, 10:24 AM

Awesome product and even better customer service! Amazing family to work with!

Charles Rathman 10/04/2022, 10:24 AM

If you are like our family and enjoy eating close to the ground and supporting farmers, Studnicka Cattle Co. is ideal. Buy local grass-feed steaks right from the source, enjoy amazing beef sticks and sausages and support the grower rather than a mechanized supply chain. Taste better, and you'll feel better after enjoying it. Real value ...

We’ve eaten the steaks, burger, roasts and sticks. I’d highly recommend them all. Well packaged, convenient transactions, and it comes from a very trusted source. Delicious too! Can’t beat it.

I have purchased the ribeyes and hamburger. Hamburger is so lean and that is why I buy it. Ribeyes melt in your mouth. Will continue to buy from Ryan. Job well done!

Ryan,

OUR PRACTICES

First and foremost, we believe in taking care of our animals and land, which in turn they will take care of us. With that in mind during the growing season we rotationally graze our beef herd from one pasture paddock to another every 24 to 72 hours depending on the paddock condition and size. This allows our pastures to rest and recover while the animals are able to consume the forage at optimal nutrient levels. To extend our grazing season we incorporate cover crops for late fall and early spring grazing. Starting towards the end of fall and going until the start of spring we feed round bales of grass hay from summer forage harvest.

Our animals are grass raised, grass fed, and grass finished. We never use synthetic herbicides or pesticides on our pastures or harvest forages. Throughout the year we supplement all natural non grain minerals and vitamins free of animal byproducts. We use polled genetics, natural fly treatment and we do not use antibiotics, implants and/or hormones for growth promotion. Our animals have access to the outdoors year-round. During the winter all our animals have access to housing.

We are BQA (Beef Quality Assurance) certified and FSIS Grassfed certified.
