Cool web site and operation. My wife and I owned a farm business in Ohio for a decade where we raised naturally fed beef, along with apples, grapes, and pears until the landowner sold the property. We couldn't quite manage the grass/hay production all 12 months to produce the quality beef we wanted, so we ended up growing turnips in the fall and feeding some corn also. Driving around south Louisiana, I often find myself salivating over the grass and thinking what a great place to raise grass fed beef.

Meaux what cuts of meat do you get if you get a quarter calf?

Awesome site Meaux. I'll have to check y'all out when my freezer starts to run low. I wanted to put a couple calfs behind the house, but I'm not sure I have enough room and time.

I'd like to know this also. I'm getting a quarter of a calf also very soon. I sure didn't know you sold beef Meaux, when I run out ill get my next one from you for sure.

Nice web site! I'm still amazed at the market out there for grass fed beef! Who would have thought that the way people did it for a couple hundred years would be so sought after today...

Around here in a continuous grazing situation you need about 2 acres per animal to not have to supplement with any hay

It tougher than you think to raise quality beef around here. You have to keep em gaining weight all year. In the middle of the summer the quality of the grass and the heat are tough obstacles to overcome. I don't try to grow my own hay i buy that from outside the farm.

I have about 1.5 - 1.75 acres fenced in. I would probably supplement with hay being that we cut our own already. My choices were between maybe 2 slaughter claves or a hand full of sheep. I much prefer beef though.

A quarter is actually a split half so you get a little bit of everything. Some of the front quarter and some of the back quarter. A half or a whole can be cut however you want. When I get home in a little bit I'll post a list of cuts you get with a quarter

Look into management intensive grazing a.k.a. rotational grazing. Your grass will last longer and your calves will get fatter. Using this method I actually grew grass in a drought

Yeah I was in it. Me and my fiancée

Some standard cuts. Front quarter- Rib eyes, shoulder steak, brisket, I think the 7 steak. Hind quarter - t bones, sirlion, porter house, round steak. We grow our own and to me, you just can't beat it. Especially when they talk about the beef recalls in the news.

How much heads up do you need? If I order today when would it be ready?
