Thank you for your interest, we do have cow and pig for sale, and are willing to discount the quoted beef price.
Unfortunately our Highland herd is just starting and will not be available for meat sales for over a year. We have a remaining Jersey that is 20 months old and approximately 1000 lbs live weight. We would like to find customers for the entire cow before taking it to a butcher though. Processing is a separate fee from the cow sales. The local processors wrap in paper, not plastic. So in answer to your questions:
vacuumed packed? No
How many months along are your cows when slaughtered?
Depends on when we get enough customers.
What do your cattle eat and for how long (After they are weaned do they eat corn their whole life then switch to pure grass at the end or pure grass the whole time)?
They drink their mothers milk until weaned, then are pasture or hay fed. The only grain they may get is for purposes of getting them to come when they are called.
Do you use hormone or antibiotics on your cattle?
No hormones, only antibiotics or other medications if clearly indicated, not as a feed additive. The jersey for sale has never needed treatment. She was not even vaccinated, as she was born on our farm and has not been in contact with any sick animal or injured.
Hope that answers your questions,
Risha (Alan's wife)
