Our beef is born and raised here on the farm. They are fed mostly grass with fermented corn silage daily. So you get the nutrition of grass fed with the flavor of grain fed. No antibiotics and no growth rate enhancers fed. Raised with respect and care. Price is $3.25/ pound hanging weight for meat cost (offering 5% discount for cash payment on meat cost) plus butcher processing cost which can be found on the links above. You choose how the meat is processed and cut. Meat will be a good mix of steaks, roasts and ground hamburger depending on how you choose to process your beef.
