Beef buying procedure for this fall:

We are raising the beef for this September on our farm, and they are looking good, as well as being rather tame. For these beeves, we are asking a $200 deposit for each half, (returnable for cancellation prior to 30 days before processing). The price will be $1.40/lb. live weight, balance paid when the beef go to the butcher. Also, the customer pays the processing. We sell them as whole or halves. A customer who just picked up her beef, calculated the price for what she took home. It was $5.90/lb. These should be that price or less.

On our Farm

The martins are rejoicing and very active. The little ones seem to have all learned to fly. We think they are warming up to make a long journey. There seems to be a lot to talk about! The first five seconds are fuzzy, sorry! Link: https://goo.gl/photos/uTNZU67preF3QC3JA
