Top Cut Angus Farms: From 0 to Market Leader in 4 Months

The Challenge

Top Cut Angus Farms launched in 2022 with a vision to produce premium Angus cattle and provide agricultural services. As a new operation, they faced the unique challenge of establishing their presence in a market dominated by long-established farms. Starting from scratch meant they had no brand recognition, no customer base, and most critically – no digital presence.

When they approached us, they faced several critical challenges:

  • They were getting no business – No established reputation or customer base
  • Zero digital footprint – No website, Google presence, or social media
  • Established competition – Competing against farms with decades of history and thousands of online reviews
  • No brand identity – Needed professional branding to convey quality and trustworthiness
  • Three revenue streams to promote – Grass-fed beef, hay baling services, and replacement heifers
  • Limited marketing budget – Needed maximum impact from every dollar spent

As a new farm in 2022, they couldn’t rely on generations of goodwill or existing customer relationships. They needed to build everything from the ground up – and fast.
