Our Black Angus cattle (steers) are grass-fed and grain-finished. What does this mean? It means that soon after a calf is born they start eating hay or grass alongside their mother. When spring-time comes around and the grass pops up they are put out on pasture, how nature intended. Typically, calves are born from January through March, and live with their mothers on pasture until they are old enough to be weaned. During the cold months, when the cows are in the barns, we feed them hay cut from our fields and our farm's open pollinated corn silage for extra energy to stay warm, and grow their next calves. The weanlings and feeders are fed 2nd cut hay, grain and corn silage to help them grow, mature and finish into fat and happy steers ready for the freezer with plenty of that intra-meat fat called 'marbling'. The more marbling a piece of meat has, the higher the quality and the better the taste. Because we finish our cattle this way, and let them dry-age for two weeks after slaughter, our product is extremely tasty and flavorful. We offer beef by the cut, quarter, side, or whole animal.
