GRASS-FED BEEF  The ranch runs a small herd of Black Brangus mama cows. Calving is in the fall of each year. When a calf is born, it is weighed, receives a numbered ear tag, and individualized tracking begins. When the calf is six months of age each calf is vaccinated for black leg, respiratory viruses, and other standard vaccines from our local veterinarian, Dr. Rob Thoni and team. This promotes health, prevents illness, and maximizes the calf's performance. Sick calves result in poor quality beef products. Calves are weaned in the summer and finished on grass for slaughter at 18-20 months of age.
The TARGET GOAL of Big Oaks Ranch is to produce and market INTEGRITY BEEF. INTEGRITY BEEF is grass-fed for healthy, tender, tasty beef that is free of supplemental hormones (no growth hormone implants), antibiotic free, processed, cut and packaged for each customer. This requires a good team and close on site management of genetics, health, quality grasses and legumes. Big Oaks Ranch is achieving this goal through the organic planning; genetic testing, selective breeding, and grass farming. INTEGRITY BEEF means Organic (not certified) Grass-fed Beef. Grass-fed beef is consigned, slaughtered & custom packaged. The customer observes and directs their grass-fed beef as it is cut and packaged at the Clower Meat Market. All 2007 beef, wholes, halves, and quarters are sold out. 2007 packaged beef in the ranch store will be available in June 2007. Check the availabilities on this site. We will take consignments for whole, halves, quarter beef packages for 2008. Get your orders in early, this meat goes fast. View Beef Prices  Mr and Mrs Clower and Juan at the Clowers Meat Market
