We raise grass-fed beef from birth to ensure they are not injected with hormones, given antibiotics or fed grain. Our animals eat a fresh salad bar each day in the grass growing season and eat dried grass (hay) in the winter. Animals are processed at 2 years of age. Wholesale (quarter, half or whole) beef is typically only available twice per year.
Butchering
- The cost of the butcher varies based on the weight of the steer and your cut selection, but should be about $100 for a quarter beef.
Custom Processing is by USDA facility Chenoa Locker, Inc. in Chenoa, IL. - The butcher will walk you through the cut order to get your beef exactly as you want it.
- Beef will be available for you to pick up directly at the butcher in Chenoa, IL approximately 3-4 weeks after the animal is delivered. The beef will be frozen by the butcher ahead of pickup.
