This is not the first order I have placed with Creekstone and it certainly will not be the last. I have not had one of these Boneless 16oz. Strips yet (from this order) but each of my previous orders have been far above expectations (and that is saying something, considering the $$). Unlike many of Creekstone's clientele, I only live 85 miles due east of Arkansas City, on the KS / OK border. This is cattle country and Black Angus is the predominate breed of beef cattle. I have not been disappointed in anything I have purchased from the folks at Creekstone and don't expect you will be either. My next excursion into preparing steaks and some pork products will by Sous Vide cooking. I highly recommend Creekstone Farms.
