We welcome inquiries regarding the availability of sides or halves of our natural beef products throughout the year. Grass finished beef is also offered for purchase during the late summer and into the fall. Our beef halves or sides sell for $2.10/lb plus the cost of processing. The approximate price of of a half with all costs included would be roughly $1000 to $1100; and would last the average family about a year. Splitting with another party to save cash flow and freezer space works well also.

Heifer Replacements for Sale:
We also welcome inquiries regarding sales of replacement females. Our program strives to produce cows that are able to maintain themselves and produce an honest calf with minimal or no inputs. Younger cows receive low levels of protein supplementation and once they are into the mature cow herd they are essentially expected to survive off of what our native grasses provide for nutrition. Not really a new concept-the buffalo were making it work for years before we all showed up and tried to complicate things. We can offer straight bred Angus or the always popular Hereford/Angus F1 crosses. We have been working for years to build an easy doing and easy handling herd that we can be proud of. Come see for yourself- we know you will be impressed with the thought and effort that has gone into our breeding program.
