We raise All Natural Beef on our farm. They are primarily Hereford & Hereford cross cattle which are known for their grazing ability. We have some wonderful foundation cows in our herd that are registered Hereford & we artificially breed them to good registered Hereford bulls. Their bull calves have been our Herd Bulls for the majority of the herd for the last several years. We are planning to cross breed some of our herd with a registered Angus bull this year which should produce some really nice calves for us. By cross breeding our cows periodically with good stock we can achieve nice hybrid vigor & good strong animals.

We are certified by the USDA that we do not use added growth hormones or antibiotics with our beef. They are only fed the feeds that we grow here on our farm which is nice green grass pasture, haylage, some dry hay, corn silage & some shelled corn. We do buy a basic mineral supplement for them to keep them well balanced & healthy.

We have been raising beef since we went out of the dairy business in 1986 although we just began “finishing” them & marketing them for retail this last fall. Up until then we basically ran a cow/calf operation where the calves were sold as feeders at about 8 months old for someone else to grow them up to slaughter age.

We pride ourselves on the fact that we grow happy, healthy beef animals in a very humane environment & produce delicious, flavorful cuts of beef.
