You can’t get any more home grown than this! The beef that we sell was bred, born and raised on our farm. We can tell you everything about the animal and the genetics behind it. Not only is the beef raised on our farm but their feed is grown on our farm. We can tell you were it was planted, when it was planted and the benefit of that feed source like corn, silage, hay even rye. We are proud that our beef is 100% home grown!
From generations and generations of cattlemen and women, we have learned from a young age what it takes to care for these animals so that you are getting the best product possible.
We are farmers with young families sharing this way of life while instilling values into each and every one of them through farm experience and life lessons.
The one thing that we constantly hear about our beef is how tender it is and that it will "melt in your mouth". We pride ourselves on this trait and the practices we have on the farm so you can taste the difference.
We feed our beef cattle corn. While some may look for grass fed, we prefer corn fed beef. Beef that is corn fed produces a more flavorfu, tender meat! Have questions about this? We are happy to answer your question!
Whether you know it or not, genetics do play a part in raising feedlot cattle. The beef that we sell are all animals that have been bred, born and raised on our farm their entire life. We make the breeding decisions and know the potential of how that calf will grow and develop before it is even born.
Education and Advocacy: From classroom visits, virtual farm tours and creating programs to educate students about farming and the beef industry, we are dedicated to sharing our farm and the importance of raising cattle with others.
Volunteering and Giving Back to the Community: We believe in giving back to our community serving in many ways on church committees, agricultural groups to little league tee ball. Giving our time to better the community is important to us and our family.
Family Focused: We are blessed we get to do this as a family. Often times you will find all three generations on the farm from doing chores to feeding bottle calves, we like to get the whole family involved.
Faith Driven: We would not be able to do what we do every day without our faith. With mother nature, the up and down of the markets and all the unknowns in farming, it is our faith and full believe that God chose us to be farmers that get us through our good days and our bad. We are so thankful that we have the opportunity to take care of these animals and the land that we call home. We get to raise our family and share the passion we have for our cattle with them. This passion is something that they in return pick up at a very young age being months old and having their eyes light up when they see the calves or having their eyes fill up with tears when it is time to say goodbye. We are proud of our Christian faith and thank God that we get to do something we love every single day.
