Tannery Creek Market is the only Certified Angus Beef ® franchise in the area. Don't be fooled by grocery stores - Tannery Creek really does have the best meat in northern Michigan!

Our Beef must pass 10 stringent quality specifications to earn the brand’s premium mark, ensuring you always enjoy flavorful, tender, juicy cuts of beef.

Marbling and Maturity

• Modest or higher marbling – for the taste that ensures customer satisfaction
• Medium or fine marbling texture – the white "flecks of flavor" in the beef that ensure consistent flavor and juiciness in every bite
• Only the youngest classification of product qualifies as "A" maturity – for superior color, texture and tenderness

A Uniform, Consistent Steak Size

• 10- to 16-square-inch ribeye area
• Less than 1,000-pound hot carcass weight
• Less than 1-inch fat thickness

Quality Appearance and Tenderness of the Brand

• Superior muscling (restricts influence of dairy cattle)
• Practically free of capillary ruptures (ensures the most visually appealing steak)
• No dark cutters (ensures the most visually appealing steak)
• No neck hump exceeding 2 inches (safeguards against cattle with more variability in tenderness)
