Throughout most of the year the herd is grazed on pasture ground and supplemented with hay in the off season which was harvested during the summer months. There are no growth hormones used and antibiotics are ONLY used if/when an animal is ill and needs help getting through the illness, the same as any person who goes to see the doctor when ill.
The calves are nursed by their mother's for the first six months and than weaned and fed a mixture of hay and grain to provide protein and fat as they age and mature. Young heifers are kept for replacements in the herd to expand the herd size.
We do NOT claim to be organic, grass fed, or non-GMO. We feed grain to our animals to ensure they have the necessary fat that provides not only moisture but flavor to the meat. We want a quality, home-grown meat that customers not only enjoy, but keep coming back for more year after year!
The meat is currently offered in bulk sizes only by 1/4, 1/2, or whole steer. The customer pays for the hanging/dressed weight and works directly with the butcher to customize their order for beef meat. Upon pick-up of the meat, the customer will pay the butcher for their processing fees.
