Please don't give him any ideas!! I am still waiting for my invite to the next Porterhouse Steak Fry MAF143 !!
Probably a stupid question but Do you sell off any of your beef?? I am in central Ohio and always looking for good beef. Last two people I dealt with have gone downhill. Half would be plenty for us.
Yes, we sell halves and quarters. We're a very small operation so I'll have to double check on what we have left at this point. We butcher in late October and I need to check the list. I have a couple family members still waffling on whether or not they are "in" this year or not. PM me. They are grain fed 1% of their body weight every day since being weened and always have access to all the fresh grass they can eat also. Our whole intention was to raise beef like we had when I was a kid without all the chemicals and crap that the commercial stuff can be exposed to. I lived through the "mad cow disease" thing in Europe as I was in Germany for the Army in the early mid-80's so I prefer beef that I know where it came from, where it's been and what it's been grazing on...
I hear they burn well also. I'm not sure I want to sit around the campfire or cook on 'em though!!! They tell me that after about 5 years of the rotational grazing like we're doing, that we'll no longer need any fertilizer on the pastures... We move the cattle around instead of hauling manure... They do most of the spreading, but on occasion I do assist with a 4 wheeler or tractor tire, but I try to not make that a regular thing...
