Anyone interested in buying a 1/4 of beef this Fall?
My dad raises black angus beef and each year any bull calves which are too small or aren’t sold in the Spring for breeding stock are raised as steers for butchering in the Fall. Primarily we sell to family and friends but high corn prices the past few years fewer people are buying bulls so we again have a few additional steers that I offer to my online friends here and over on FB. Several IDO members have bought in the past and almost everyone is now a yearly customer
If you’ve never purchased beef directly before it’s something that you should look into… Not only is it better quality and safer than commerial beef which is often raised with added hormones/steriods/antibiotics but it actually can save a lot of $$ over the course of a year versus buying at a grocery/butcher. Have you ever noticed that store bought burger shrinks when you cook it? That’s because angus beef absorbs water and up to 25-30% of what you’re paying for is water… That never happens when you buy direct from a farmer.
