Alex and his family broke ground in Washburn, Missouri March of 2018 to build what is now Circle M Cattle. While this operation is fairly new, the Mareth family’s love for agriculture is not. Both of Alex’s grandfathers were rooted in agriculture. These individuals have instilled a love for agriculture in Alex and they are the reason for what we do today.
Circle M Cattle is family owned and includes a 10-acre feedyard, registered angus herd, and cow/calf operation.

At Circle M Meats, great beef isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. Rooted in Southern Missouri, our family organization raises registered Angus cattle with care, integrity, and a deep respect for the land and animals that sustain us. From pasture to plate, every decision is personal. Our commitment to excellence carries through every cut we produce. All Circle M Meats beef begins with a minimum 21-day wet-aging process, hand cut by our artisan butchers and sealed in sous vide–rated vacuum packaging. This careful approach allows natural enzymes to tenderize the meat while preserving moisture, consistency, and a clean, classic beef flavor—forming the foundation for everything we offer, from wet-aged to dry-aged selections.

Established in 1929 by founder Joseph H. Welp, Welp Hatchery has spent nearly a century building a reputation for excellence in the heart of Bancroft, Iowa. While we have deep roots as a family-founded business, our reach has grown significantly over the decades. Though we are widely recognized as specialists in Cornish Rock Broiler chickens, our expertise extends across a diverse catalog of poultry. We take pride in offering a wide selection of breeds to meet the needs of both commercial farmers and hobbyists alike.
