For the majority of their lives, our cattle enjoy a diet of hay grown at our farm, corn silage grown and processed in Massachusetts, and a vitamin and mineral mix. All ruminant animals require what is called forage or roughage (hay, grass, etc.). These foods give them energy and help to maintain their internal body temperature.

Mature female cattle are called cows and mature male cattle are bulls. Young female cattle are called heifers, young male cattle are oxen or bullocks, and castrated male cattle are known as steers. Cattle are commonly raised for meat, for dairy products, and for leather. As draft animals, they pull carts and farm implements.

We guarantee our products to be safe, healthy, family affordable, and especially flavorful. We use only our own local, farm-raised beef cattle.
