Frequently Asked Questions
Q- Do we raise our own cows?
A- Right now we are still in the process of growing our herd. Once our herd is big enough, we will strictly be raising all of our beef. Most but not all of our current cows have been bought from family or people we are close with. And that is what we prefer if we have to outsource! We want to know all about our beef if we have to buy!
Q- Are our cows grain fed or grass fed?
A- We do not offer strictly grass fed beef but they do have access to grass and hay always. We choose grain fed because grain feeding our cattle only helps to put flavor into the meat as well as gives the cow vitamins and minerals along with other nutrients to grow healthy from start to finish. Strictly grass fed beef only has access to the nutrients that grass provides causing a lack of the well needed nutrients to pack around the 1000+ pounds of weight when closer to market time.
Q- Are your cows free range?
A- Our herd and feeder cows are separated due to the nature of what each is for. Our herd has access to more pasture where our feeders are meant to eat and have less physical activity. They are still given hay and lots of grain to ensure the flavor and quality of our meat.
Q- Do you pack and freeze or is it fresh?
A- Our processor vacuum seals and freezes our meat conveniently into individual packages!
Q- What items are in your bundle boxes?
A- The contents of the bundle boxes will vary based on current inventory! Our goal with each box is to give you as much of a variety of what we offer as inventory allows. You can always expect ground beef in your box but we guarantee at least 2 different cuts of meat!
Q- Where are you located?
A- Deputy IN is where our farm is located! We love to have face to face interactions with customers and much as possible! We encourage everyone to visit our farm or if delivery is the best option we hope to see you then!
Q- Do you sell quarters / half / whole cows?
A- We do! Inventory is limited and depends on time of year! We will make special posts when quarter, half or whole beef are available for purchase. You will be required to pay a nonrefundable retainer to secure your portion of beef. A contract will be given for signature with all details on your beef purchase.
Q- Do you offer delivery?
A- Yes! We offer delivery for a flat fee of $20 for select zip codes for individual cuts. If you have purchased a quarter, half or whole beef, delivery is included in the purchase price!
