About The Beef

Our Cows give birth in green pastures. This means the cattle are fed entirely on their mother’s milk for almost the entire first year of their life. In mid-winter they are weaned into small groups.

​

We raise the yearling cattle in small groups for optimum growth. We have a high-cost for feeding hay to cattle during the long Minnesota winters, however we have a good location for summer grass. For this reason, our year starts in the winter when we wean natural raised calves from their mother.

​

We try to get the best performance from our grass and our cattle. We do this primarily through management-intensive grazing and selective breeding. Smaller numbers of cattle per acre ensure low-stress stock. Calm low stress mothering makes happy offspring for highest quality of meat tenderness and taste of final product.

​

We have Lowline Black Angus beef cattle for sale that are ready to be harvested.  We are now finishing them with hay and a small ration of Non-GMO corn grown on our own family farm. These animals were free to graze our pasture all summer and able to seek cover in the shed when they wanted, not confined to a feedlot.

The benefits of these cattle having a diet of grass for some time are leaner meat with higher amounts of Vitamin E and healthy Omega 3's than feedlot beef because of their natural grass diet. The small amount of corn added gives small amounts of marbling for tenderness and flavor, unlike many that are fed all the corn they want. These animals are not fat.
