After years of rave reviews over the beef John & Sue Ebensberger were producing on their hobby farm, West Forty (40 acres west of Greene, IA) was born!
We have been selling individual cuts and custom wholesale options in Greene since 2013 and Des Moines since 2016. In September 2019, John & Sue purchased the grocery store in Greene, renaming it West Forty Market. You can find all of our locally raised meats at the store!
After being a full time vendor at the Des Moines Farmers Market and offering delivery around the metro, Teresa (their daughter) decided to open her own retail store in Ankeny, IA in May 2021. West Forty Market is located in Uptown Ankeny and features over 120 cuts of beef, pork, chicken, bison, lamb and turkey - all raised on local Iowa farms and butchered in Iowa. We also feature over a dozen local products, including pasta, rubs, sauces and honey.
Grass-fed, grain-finished and raised with love and care ... we are confident you'll enjoy the amazing flavor and tenderness of our meats!

Beef arm roast is a flavorful, budget-friendly cut known for its rich taste and fork-tender texture when cooked low and slow. Ideal for pot roasts, Sunday dinners, or meal prepping for the week, this cut shines when paired with carrots, potatoes, and your favorite herbs. Whether you're using a slow cooker, Dutch oven, or roasting pan, arm roast delivers a satisfying, beefy meal every time.
Also known as the “Beef Clod Heart” or “Shoulder Center Roast.”
Comes from the chuck primal, making it rich in flavor with moderate marbling.
A go-to choice for traditional pot roast recipes.
Packed with high-quality protein to keep you full and fueled.
A natural source of iron and zinc, essential for energy and immune support.
A smart, affordable choice for balanced weeknight meals.
Low and slow is key — aim for braising or roasting at a low temperature for several hours.
Season generously with a rub or herbs, and add broth or stock for moisture.
Rest the roast for 10–15 minutes after cooking before slicing.
Cook to an internal temperature of 195–205°F for shreddable, fall-apart tenderness.
For slicing, aim for 145–160°F, depending on your desired doneness.
