About West Forty Market
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!

Oxtail Delivered to Your Door
A flavorful, tender cut perfect for slow cooking and hearty dishes.
Oxtail is a unique, rich cut that becomes meltingly tender when slow-cooked. Known for its deep, savory flavor, oxtail is perfect for braising, stews, soups, and even curries. The bones and marrow add richness and depth, making oxtail a favorite for those looking to create nourishing, comforting meals.
Fun Facts:
-
Oxtail is rich in collagen, which breaks down during slow cooking to create a luxurious, gelatinous texture in broths and soups.
-
A staple in many international cuisines, from Jamaican oxtail stew to Italian oxtail ragu.
-
The bone-in nature of oxtail makes it ideal for adding richness and depth to dishes.
Nutritional Benefits:
-
High in collagen and gelatin, which support joint health, skin elasticity, and gut health.
-
Rich in essential minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium, which are vital for overall health.
-
Provides a natural source of protein and amino acids, ideal for nourishing meals.
Cooking Tips:
-
Best when slow-cooked or braised for hours to extract maximum flavor and tenderness.
-
Add vegetables, herbs, and spices to enhance the broth's flavor.
-
For a deeper flavor, brown the oxtail before cooking to develop a rich, caramelized taste.
Cooking Temperature:
-
Slow cook or braise at low temperatures (250–300°F) for several hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
-
For a richer broth, cook oxtail in a pressure cooker for faster results.
