    • Grass-fed beef producers and retailers map

    Metadata Updated: December 2, 2025

    This data package includes two shapefiles and their associated attribute tables. The two files, GFB_producers_2021-02-18.zip and GFB_retailers_2021-02-18.zip, contain all internet-discoverable (at the time of data collection, July-August 2020; with minor edits/additions circa June 2022) grass-fed beef producers and retailers in the Southwest and Southern Plains of the U.S. (Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah), compiled through an internet search. The data were initially collected in August of 2020 using publicly available information from Google search engine and Google map searches with the intention of informing members of the Sustainable Southwest Beef Project (USDA NIFA grant #2019-69012-29853) team about existing grass-fed beef producers and retailers in the study area.
