Our Meats

Find out why LaLonde's meats are the best!

We are passionate about our business and it is obvious when you browse our full–service meat counter or talk with our friendly meat associates. Can the meat at one store truly be better than another? You bet! There are many steps to making sure our meat is better, and we only accept the very best. Consistent performance is no accident. That’s why our meat performs better in flavor, texture and preparation.

We invite you to explore all of the ways in which LaLonde's meats excel! There is no better meat counter in Midland or the surrounding areas.

Consistent performance is no accident. We take many steps to assure your meal is better on the table. We require our suppliers to provide us with Cargill EXCEL beef. We do not buy on price, we buy on quality. This assures you that everytime you buy a cut of beef, you can expect the same consistent superior flavor, texture and taste you’ve always known from LaLonde’s.

The Excel brand dates back to 1936 and they pride themselves on Humane Handling. Cattle are raised under the human handling set by the standards of the American Meat Institute and the Humane Slaughter Act for humane animal treatment

Stress in cattle causes inferior end meat cuts. Cargill works to minimize cattle stress through both raising processes and facility design

Cargill developed the technology to effectively clean beef, reducing pathogens. As well as using VerifEYE, which visualizes and removes trace contaminated beef before it can leave the processing facility

The beef is digitally graded on more than 20 different attributes to maintain the consistency you expect

If you would like more in-depth information on our beef, please ask and we can happily supply you with information.

Why Our Beef Excels

We know exactly what is in our burgers…just meat. We make our grinds fresh every day, from nothing but hand trimmed whole primal chucks, rounds and sirloins. There is no filler, no additives, no miscellaneous parts and no “pink slime”. Just meat and the small amount of fat after hand trimming that goes along with it. This means our meat cooks better, tastes better and is better for you!

Sirloin - 95% meat, 5% fat. The leanest of the grinds. Best used for soups, stews, chilis, and sauces

Round - 90% meat, 10% fat. The middle grind. Best used for leaner burgers and meatloaf

Chuck - 85% meat, 15% fat. The richest grind. Best used for juicy burgers and meatballs

Because our meat is hand cut, trimmed and ground in house everyday, percentages are approximate but fall within the acceptable ranges established by the FDA and State Agriculture Departments.

Why Our Grinds Are Better

Better feed. Better taste. It's what differentiates us from every other brand. Gerber's Amish Farm Chicken tastes better because our family has taken the time to perfect our feeding formula and the way we raise our chickens. We've worked with our feed suppliers, nutritionists, animal welfare consultants, farmers, and caretakers for nearly six decades to develop a nutritious diet and a safe, healthy living environment for our chickens. We are proving that a well–nourished, contented chicken means a better–tasting chicken.

There's nothing unnatural about the way we raise or feed our chickens. We raise our chickens on an all–vegetable diet with no additives or antibiotics. Farm–fresh goodness is all you taste; the taste that will keep you coming back for more.
