Our cows are part of our family and we treat them accordingly. We follow practices that are low stress for handling of the cattle. We implement rotational grazing and keep our cows and calves out on grass 10 months out of the year.
The Momma cows graze cover crops and crop residue such as corn stalks and bean stubble through the winter with supplemental hay. When the calves are weaned in October at 7 months they are put on a hay/corn/oat and protein feed and finished at the age of 14-16 months of age.
We use the best genetics for our cow herd which is predominantly Angus with a few Angus/Hereford cross cows.
Our cattle grade high choice and prime.
When purchasing meat from our farm you have a few choices: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or whole beef.
You can customize how you'd like your meat cut and packaged.
A traditional cut of beef would yield:
Here are a few things to keep in mind when ordering:
Depending on how much you cook at how and how many there are of you, an average family will eat ¼ of beef a year. However we are a family of 4 and eat 1 whole beef (I guess we aren’t average).
