Dyer Livestock BEEF is a custom beef operation local to Dade County, Georgia. At Dyer Livestock BEEF, raising high quality livestock and producing a high quality end product for our customers is our mission. We have a deep passion for the beef industry and strive to bring the best the industry offers to our local community; a safe, wholesome, delicious protein fit for any palate.
Our beef is grass-fed and grain finished, and is harvested at an ideal finishing point, allowing us to achieve the desirable marbling and flavor beef-lovers enjoy. We always strive for our beef to reach a marbling score equivalent to Choice Grade beef or better. As is all inspected beef sold in the U.S., our beef is antibiotic free. We do not use any added hormones in raising our beef.
We offer numerous purchasing options of frozen beef to accommodate varying preferences. We recently opened ‘The Beef Shop’ in Trenton, GA, where all of our beef is available as individual cuts. We are open on Fridays from 3pm to 7pm and Saturdays from 10am to 4pm. We have a mobile beef trailer that we pop up at local Farmers Markets throughout the summer season. If you do not live in northwest Georgia but would still like to enjoy high quality beef from farmers you can trust, we can ship our beef directly to your doorstep!
If you want to stock up and save, we offer beef in bulk options (1/4, 1/2, or whole animal). Our bulk options book out months in advance. You can view upcoming bulk order availability on our “Shop” tab and make a deposit to secure your spot.
When you buy beef from Dyer Livestock BEEF, you can be confident you are purchasing a high quality product raised by a local farm-family. We look forward to serving you and sharing with you our passion for the beef industry. As a good saying goes, “No farmers, no food,” but, as we like to encourage: “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food.”
We are Jeremy and Sarah Dyer, owners of Dyer Livestock BEEF.
Know Your Farmer - Jeremy
Jeremy is a life-long resident of Dade County and to put it simply, he was born into the cattle business. His family has been heavily involved in the beef industry for generations. Jeremy’s grandfather, Jack, was a long time Extension Agent in Gordon county and he is responsible for starting the Red Carpet Tele-Auction. Jeremy’s late father, Ted, was the Extension Agent in Dade County for ~20 years and later became a Beef Specialist for UGA. Growing up surrounded by the cattle industry, Jeremy began his own Angus herd while showing cattle through 4-H. Jeremy continued his passion for cattle through college as a member of the livestock judging teams at Northeast Oklahoma A&M and then at the University of Georgia, where he received a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. Upon graduation, Jeremy began his own business, Dyer Livestock. Dyer Livestock is a diversified livestock operation specializing in the production of seedstock cattle, farm-to-fork beef, and show goats & show cattle that youth exhibit across the nation. Besides seeing Jeremy with the Dyer Livestock BEEF trailer, you can find him at the farm taking care of all the responsibility that comes with the day-to-day management of such. You’ll often find Jeremy feeding livestock twice a day & 7-days a week, mowing & spraying pastures, cutting & baling hay, tending to sick or hurt livestock, or at shows managing livestock & teaching the next generation of farmers. Jeremy has spent invaluable time traveling the country engaged in the livestock industry, but he’s always glad when he gets to spend his days on the farm located in the heart of the New Salem community that he’s proud to call “home.”
Know Your Farmer - Sarah
Sarah grew up in Florida where she and her family run a cow-calf operation. Like Jeremy, Sarah’s passion for beginning her own herd stemmed from showing cattle through 4-H. Following the spark that was ignited through showing livestock in the youth circuit, Sarah decided to pursue an Animal Science degree at the University of Florida. While at UF, Sarah was a member of the Livestock Judging team and the Live Animal & Meat Evaluation team, both of which she later coached during graduate school. During undergrad, Sarah spent some time interning in the industry. Sarah interned for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and later for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, Inc. These opportunities opened Sarah’s eyes to realizing she wanted to dive deeper into the science behind the cattle industry. Sarah decided to pursue graduate school and obtained a Master’s in Animal Science and a Master’s of Business Management. During her graduate studies, Sarah specifically studied the genetics of cattle that affect meat quality characteristics, healthfulness of beef, and consumer preferences and willingness-to-pay for beef products. This unveiled Sarah’s passion for the end-product, and for educating consumers about such a vital and delicious protein. Sarah loves to converse with Dyer Livestock BEEF customers about the high quality product she and Jeremy are committed to producing. Sarah is also the UGA Extension Agent in Dade County, and loves to work with her local farmers, as well as teach youth about agriculture and livestock production.
