We move our cows onto fresh pasture daily all year round. We use temporary electric fences to control their access to a field and stockpile pasture for winter grazing. We have spring water piped throughout the property so they always have clean fresh drinking water. We don’t use antibiotics or spray our fields with any chemicals. We have options for Grass Finished Beef or Grass-Fed beef finished on Organic Feed, in case you’re like us and don’t prefer 100% grass-finished beef. We sell beef by the whole or half share based on current grass-fed beef market prices published by the USDA in the National Grass Fed Beef Report.
We price our beef on hanging weight and our current prices for a whole share are $5.39/lb for Grass Finished and $6.64/lb Grass Fed Organic Grain Finished. Current market average is $8.13/lb. On average a whole beef can weigh between 800 and 1,200 lbs live weight depending on grass finished or organic grain finished; hanging weight is approximately 56% of live weight. So on average a half beef share is going to run around $1,200 – $1,850 and a whole beef share will be $2,400 – $3,700, depending on which finishing option you choose and the size of the animal.

On our farm both options are grass fed through the entire process. In fact all cattle can be called grass fed if there were ever in a pasture or fed hay. The reality is grass fed is more nutritious if it is on grass until it is processed. This is why we use the rotational grazing techniques we do, to keep the cattle on the freshest pasture possible throughout the entire process. But there is an inconvenience to grass finished. That is that you lose the marbling of a well finished steak that gives it the juicy sweet flavor we have all come to love. This is where our grass fed organic grain finished beef stands out. You get the best of both worlds. The cattle are still eating grass through the whole process but are also fed a healthy organic ration custom produced just for us that takes them to the next level. But we like to give you options that’s why we still offer 100% Grass Finished Beef even though we don’t prefer it on our dinner table.
