Iron Cowboy CrossFit Partners with Bench Y Livestock to Bring Members Premium Local Beef

At Iron Cowboy CrossFit, we believe performance and health don’t stop when you leave the gym. Recovery, fuel, and long-term health all start with what you put on your plate. CrossFit’s base is built on great nutrition. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new partnership with Bench Y Livestock , giving our members access to locally raised, grass-fed, grass-finished beef you can trust.

This partnership makes it simple for our community to buy quarter, half, or whole beef shares , giving you direct access to premium beef from ranchers who care about how your food is raised.

A Trusted Source of Real Food

Not all beef is created equal. Most store-bought beef comes from large-scale operations where cattle are sold to feedlots, fed grain-based diets to pack on quick weight, and often treated with hormones or unnecessary antibiotics.

Through Bench Y Livestock, Iron Cowboy members now have access to beef that is:

• 100% grass-fed and grass-finished
• Raised locally
• No added hormones
• No unnecessary antibiotics
• Humanely raised with high animal welfare standards

This means you know exactly where your food is coming from — and who raised it.

How Buying in Quarters, Halves, or Wholes Works

Buying beef this way isn’t just for ranchers anymore. It’s one of the most cost-effective and nutrition-dense ways to feed your family.

Members can now purchase:

• Quarter beef – Great for individuals or small households
• Half beef – Ideal for families
• Whole beef – Best value for large families or those who want to stock a freezer

You’ll receive a mix of:

• Steaks
• Roasts
• Ground beef
• Specialty cuts

This allows you to eat high-quality protein year-round while locking in predictable food costs. If you know someone else who may be interested, getting together to split up a beef is a great way to spread it out if you don’t have enough freezer space for all of it!

Why Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef Matters

Choosing truly grass-fed and finished beef makes a real difference in your health and performance.

1. Better Fat Profile

Grass-fed beef contains:

• Higher omega-3 fatty acids
• Higher CLA (conjugated linoleic acid)

These fats support:

• Reduced inflammation
• Improved heart health
• Better recovery from training

2. Cleaner Protein for Performance

High-quality beef provides:

• Complete protein
• Iron for oxygen transport
• Zinc for immune function
• B vitamins for energy production

For athletes, this means:

• Better muscle repair
• Sustained energy
• Faster recovery

3. No Unwanted Additives

Because Bench Y cattle are raised naturally, you avoid:

• Hormone residues
• Chemical preservatives
• Mystery fillers, common in processed meats

You get real food, the way it’s meant to be.

Supporting Local Ranchers Strengthens Our Community

This partnership isn’t just about better beef. It’s about strengthening the local economy and preserving Wyoming’s ranching heritage.

When you buy from Bench Y Livestock, you are:

• Supporting local families
• Keeping dollars in our community
• Helping preserve ethical, sustainable ranching practices

This creates a food system that is more transparent, resilient, and trustworthy .

Fuel Like an Athlete. Eat Like a Rancher.

Iron Cowboy CrossFit exists to build stronger people — physically and mentally. This partnership brings that same mission to your nutrition.

Real training deserves real food.
