common questions
1
Is your beef grass fed or grain fed?
So honestly both; we pay a nutritionist to formulate a custom diet for our cows. This includes feeds like grass/hay, corn silage, grain, straw as well as vitamins + minerals. We pride ourselves on the cows getting a balanced diet, not a single component diet. We believe the grain finished beef has a great flavor and texture across all cuts.
2
Do you use growth hormones?
No.
3
What is your antibiotic usage like?
We use antibiotics on less than 1% of our herd; on an as needed basis for a sickness or injury infection. Our vet prescribes a treatment plan and we follow that. We believe it to be cruel to deny an animal medication that they need.

Where and when do I pick it up?
You will pickup your meat approximately 2 weeks after your dropoff date + you can get it direct from the butcher OR you can get it directly from us, in North Java. We are offering to pick it up on your behalf because of the location of the butcher shops this year.

How does this whole buying process work?
Once you've paid your deposit, you are guaranteed a butcher spot. We will reach out and let you know your choices for "dropoff dates". Once we dropoff, you will need to submit your custom cut orders. Approx 10-12 days after that you will get your beef bill from us, and a phone call from the butcher confirming your meat is ready. Upon pick from the butcher, you will pay the butcher fees + give them your Beef payment. That's it!

What do I get back?
You will be required to submit a cut sheet that will help you decided exactly which cuts of meat you want, what you don't want, how much of each you want, etc. We suggest a mix of steaks, roasts, ground beef, stew meat, cube steaks, brisket, short ribs, sandwich steaks and soup bones.
