Our Cattle

Our cattle have free range of our sunny Southern Humboldt ranch. They eat the native prairie grasses and sweet clover and drink from spring fed ponds and troughs. They also have access to salt and mineral licks. They seem to enjoy it and we enjoy them.
At this time we have 55 Angus-cross  females and 3 purebred Angus bulls.
Our cattle are humanely and lovingly raised and come when we call their names. They all receive a yearly vaccination and some vitamins, but we use no hormones or antibiotics.

We harvest mid July. We sell them whole or halves  by the hanging weight. These go quickly so order early as we have a limited supply. Ground beef and steaks are also available at Chautauqua Market. Prices vary in regards to the individual cut. You can also sample our beef by buying a burger at The Avenue Cafe.
