Bednar Meats

Located in the Union Stockyards in Chicago, Great Western Beef Company has been in business since 1907. Founded by James Joseph Ebzery, Great Western Beef Company has remained a family business for nearly 100 years. As our symbol read in 1907, "your guarantee of satisfaction, " that philosophy still remains the core of our business today. Great Western Beef Company is a USDA inspected ( #2534 ), portion control meat purveyor. When purchasing boxed beef, we only purchase from a few selective meat packers. These packers are located in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. We purchase USDA corn fed cattle that is aged for a minimum of 21 days. This ensures that the meat yields the richest flavor and tenderness. After the meat is aged to perfection, it is then hand cut to the customer's specification. At Great Western Beef Company, we pride ourselves on delivering the finest products to our customers.

Operational for more than 40 years, James Calvetti Meats produces a variety of premium portion-cut meats for international and domestic customers. It provides hand-trimmed tenderloin steaks for filet mignon and steak burgers. The company is a part of the United States Department of Agriculture Beef Export Verification program. It operates a more than 17,000-square-foot facility that is equipped to support high-volume processing services. James Calvetti Meats maintains a location in Chicago.
