ABOUT LDC BEEF

Our herd is composed of 3 breeds:

Cows:  Red Angus, Galloway and Highland.

Bulls:  Red Angus and Galloway.

Crossing breeds make for an excellent animal.  Good browsers, disease resistant, and climate hardy.  We maintain a closed herd.  The only "imports" are bulls.  Calving season begins later than most other farms.  The mothers are able to graze fresh new grass; which promotes healthy and happy babies. Calves are "fence line" weaned in late fall.  This creates less stress through winter.

The animals graze on rotating pastures.  We also green chop fresh legumes to augment forage.  Winter feed consists of grass and legume silage.  Choice dry matter hay, and minerals are also furnished.

The only grain we feed is rolled oats.  This supplements protein in the diet for calves and finishing steers.  We use no antibiotics.  There have been no chemical fertilizers on our pastures and hay fields for 3 years. Active pastures are harrowed every 5 days with low impact equipment.  All fields are core aerated twice a year.

Butchering-

Our butcher is like me, cranky and careful.  Beef is dry aged for a minimum of 2 weeks.  Cuts are kept simple:
