Raising our own beef has been a legacy for the Schmitt
family. In order to know exactly what is
in our meat, we raise our own cattle.
Standing behind our belief of healthy products, our beef is free from
growth hormones, feed additives and genetically modified organisms (GMO’s).
Working one-on-one with the environment, our free-range
cattle graze the luscious and nutritious organic natural pasture through the
growing season which lasts from approximately May to October. The baby calves spend the summer with their
mothers to maximize the lactating period.
Once fall comes along, we put the horses to work by bringing
the cattle home from the summer pasture.
Once home, the herd eats free-choice alfalfa brome grass hay and are
grain fed organic barley throughout the winter months. The calves are in a separate pen to feed more
aggressively for the feeder market or finished for sale to consumers, while the
bred cows are being readied for the next spring calving season.
Each and every animal is carefully and precisely
fed to ensure ongoing herd health and resistance to disease. Our goal for final product is delicious red
meat for human consumption.
