WE PUBLISH WHAT
OTHERS HIDE.

Plainview is the only beef brand in this category publishing actual third-party lab data. No competitor does this. Every number below is downloadable and independently verified.

Third-Party. Publicly Published. Real Numbers.

Testing performed by Great Plains and QuanTEM Analytical Laboratories. Not internal claims — independent, third-party verified data you can download and read yourself. ButcherBox makes claims. Plainview proves them. This is our biggest unfair advantage in the category — and no competitor can copy it.

Plainview values: independent analysis by the Center for Human Nutrition Studies, Utah State University (2026). Compared against commercial North American beef profiled in the Beef Nutrient Density Project — Varre et al., J. Anim. Sci. 104:skaf436 (2026) — analyzed by the same laboratory under the same protocol. Omega-6:omega-3 benchmarks compared against Daley et al., Nutrition Journal 9:10 (2010), reporting pooled averages of 1.53:1 grass-fed and 7.65:1 grain-fed.
