Mostly grass fed and finished beef for sale:
We are are taking requests for 2020. Beef will be available by the quarter, half or whole.
Our cattle are raised on grass, forage, browse, hay, non GMO soybean hulls, apple cider vinegar, free choice mineral and salt*. We use a rotational grazing system, and we supplement with soybean hulls to provide added energy to get our calves through the weaning process, to condition our show cattle, to provide additional energy to cattle that have lost condition, and to help finish our market animals. Our cattle are not fed grain, as grain has been shown to alter the fatty acid and CLA profile in beef, whereas soybean hulls have been shown to provide additional energy without significantly altering the fatty acid and CLA profile. We use antibiotics only for therapeutic reasons, and we do not use hormones to improve performance. In addition, we do our best to provide a stress-free environment for the cattle, including our preference for on farm slaughter, which eliminates the stress of transport and the processing facility.
WHAT IS THE COST?
Our steer beef prices for 2020 are $3.50 per lb. of hanging weight for a whole steer, $3.75 per lb. for a ½ steer, and $4.00 per lb. for a ¼ steer. The cost of on farm slaughter is $100 to $150 per whole animal, and proportionally less if you are buying a half or quarter. We will bill you after slaughter is complete and the hanging weight is known.
We will arrange to have your beef processed at The Hungry Farmer Meat Company in North Branch, Minnesota. We will share your contact information with them and they will call you to talk through your preferences for cuts. Their fee is based on hanging weight and amount of meat ground. This fee is payable directly to The Hungry Farmer when you pick up your beef. Expect the processing to take about two weeks.
Thanks for considering Climbing Stump Farm.
* On occasion our cattle are fed apples, turnips, kale and other garden produce in small amounts.
