Summer beef offering - If you've been to the farm you know these cows have the best of everything and we are proud to bring you this beautiful beef again this year.
I'm harvesting 6 beef cows total 3 on july 5th and the the other 3 on the 11th of July
They will hang for a few weeks before they are cut and wrapped
- The cows only eat grass and are moved constantly to new fresh pasture
- the cows are slaughtered at the peek of summer pasture for the best finishing
- they have never been given any antibiotics or grain of any kind
- the breed is a heritage breed - Irish Dexter red devon cross that we breed and raise
- they are slaughtered on the farm in their pasture as peacefully as possible - I am present for the kill
we are selling the two 2 year old steers that are approx 25 months. My guesstimate is that their hanging weight is about 500lbs these two will be sold by the 1/2
we are also selling the 4 yearling steers that are approx 14 months my guesstimate is that their hanging weight is about 300lbs these four will be sold by the 1/2
You will call in your own cut and wrap instructions as well as PU your meat at sharps in Hubbard OR
Sharps will walk you thought the cut and wrap if youve never done it, you will let them know the thickness of steaks, distribution of roasts, steaks and ground beef etc.
how much beef will this be? -
Half of a 2 year old steer will be approx 250 lbs hanging weight with a finish weight of about 160lbs (not including bones)
Half of a yearling steer will be approx 150 lbs hanging weight with a finish weight of about 90lbs (not including bones)
the yearling 1/2 cow should fit in your standard home freezer (with out the ice maker) think about 35lbs per square milk crate
how much does this cost? -
cost - $6 a pound Hanging Weight, kill fee $75, cut and wrap .95c per pound -
so my guesstimate is below
yearling steer
cut and wraps (paid to sharps) 150# @ .95c $140
kill fee (paid to BTF) $75
150# x $6 (paid to BTF) = $900
approx total ~ $1100 for approx 90lbs
2 year old steer
cut and wraps (paid to sharps) 250# @ .95c $237
kill fee (paid to BTF) $75
250# x $6 (paid to BTF) = $1500
approx total ~ $1800 for approx 160lbs

our farm
Our home and farm is 70 acres in Oregon, where we raise animals and produce seasonal vegetables. On our farm, you'll find free-range hens, pasture-raised pigs, goats, a team of draft horses, bee hives and grass-fed cows. We are building a managed intensive grazing system of farming that builds our soil, sequesters carbon, and moves us towards a healthy, sustainable and diverse farm.
You might see Clare harvesting honey, working her team of draft horses, stirring compost or returning from foraging mushrooms in the woods.
We sell meat and eggs to a few dedicated customers, and as of summer 2023 have a few beef shares to offer.
