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
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. 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 26-33
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.
Health benefits
of Grass Fed Products 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 directs their grass-fed
beef by extensive conversations with me for packaging and cutting
specifications.
Currently there is no packaged beef available in the ranch store.
We will update the availabilities on
this site when we have some.

Yes
we are very happy with it (1/2 beef). I just pulled the last
batch of bone broth from my canner. Our freezer is full of
wonderful organic grass fed beef and our pantry now has 30 pints
of nurturing broth. We are thankful to know you and be a
customer. M & E
Thank you so much! MK
Can you put me on the wait list? Looking for a full cow, but let
me know what's available. M.T.
WE WILL PROCESS
6 total in 2024 ... 2 IN MARCH 2024 AND 4 IN NOV 2024. There
will be no new customers this year (2024) and I am sorry for that.
The reason is I have 2 less cows this year therefore some current
customers might be rationed.
Grass-fed steers and heifers soon for slaughter. |
