Price Revision

We've revised our pricing to eliminate some confusion about what a side of beef will actually cost.



$900 for a side of beef
Or you can order a full for $1750
or a quarter for  $475
Additional processing fees will be paid to the butcher
and are estimated at $225 per side.


Each side of beef will include between 175 to 225 pounds of meat.  That’s about what a family of four will consume in one year.  Our sides will include but not limited to sirloins, t-bones, roasts, brisket, ribs, round steak, and lean ground beef.
Your side of beef will be custom cut to your specifications by Country Home Meats in Edmond, OK. 
 
We are taking reservations now with deposits of $100.  Butcher dates are April 30th and May 14th.  Target butcher weight is between 1,000—1.100 pounds.
Smaller cattle may be held over for additional weight gain.
And remember ~
Unlike meat from the commercial market, our cattle are raised on pasture their
entire lives. They are fed a ration of grain daily for added flavor and marbling.   Our steers are cared for twice a day to make sure they are happy and healthy. 
No steroids or antibiotics will be given to our animals while they are on our farm. 
All that adds up to great tasting beef for your table!

Feeding Time

Twice a day, one of us goes out to feed the cattle.
They get a 50 pound sack of grain morning and evening.


We carry it over and jump the fence.


The cattle come running
if they aren't there waiting for us, that is.


We have a pen set up with the feed trough in it.
The cattle come in to the pen twice a day so we can inspect them and make sure they are good and healthy. 
They get scratches on the noses or backs if they want it.
Sometimes we get an appreciative lick on the face!

about 900 lbs now, goal is 1200

They love feeding time!


Sammie loves it too because she likes to carry the empty feed sack to the trash.
She gets really upset if we feed the cattle without her!
