Only Angus, both Red and Black.

For us to come out to your farm, the minimum number of cattle needed is 10. Those 10 need to be ready to butcher at the time we come out.

Price per pound is based off the USDA National Choice Grade Average. Whatever the price is the day we decide to come out to the farm and sign the contract, is the price per pound. One week in advance of coming out to the farm will be given.

The price is based on the hanging weight.

Contracts are signed before the slaughtering begins and last for 30 days. A new contract is signed with a new price after 30 days. The contracts state the price, what we and the producer are responsible for, and the various liabilities.

No, we do not require vaccinations, however, if vaccinations are given, all residue must be out of the cattle’s system at time of slaughter.

We look to make sure you have a way to separate the animals for antemortem inspection, easy water access, humane practices, farm cleanliness, a runway to connect to our restrainer, and a hard surface to work on- crushed granite, rock, cement, (No dirt, as it gets too muddy).

An antemortem inspection is an overall inspection of the animal making sure it is in good health, with no neurological signs of illness and that the cow can walk on its own. It is done by a USDA official before the cattle go in the chute.

When we first arrive at the farm, we will bring our MSU trailer and restrainer. The restrainer will be left at the farm until all the cattle have been slaughtered.

We come out to the farm 1-2 times each week, until the contracted amount of cattle have been slaughtered.

The number can range from 8-12 cows each day.

The offal (internal organs) goes to compost on the farm, the spinal column waste goes to central bi-products, and the rest of the trim goes into our products.

No, currently we are only butchering beef cattle.

No, we do not do any custom processing at this time.
