Hi Kathy Jo,

I took another couple of steers to the market last week and have at least two

quarters that are still unspoken for. Perhaps you could spread the word. I will

be scheduling a home delivery trip, perhaps on the 18th. Stay tuned for a new

inventory sheet.

Here's the details on the quarters:

Quarters available for delivery in early March.

Our cross bred Simmental herd is 100% grass-fed, no grain or growth hormones or

growth stimulating anti-biotics. We use rotational grazing in small paddocks,

moving the herd each day to stimulate the grass, stymie the pests, and fatten

the cattle. We occasionally use commercial wormers, though this particular

animal was not wormed. We do not use chemical fertilizers, herbicides or

pesticides on our pastures or hay ground, however, we are not certified organic

at this time. We attempt to apply holistic management principles whenever land

management decisions are made and are working to maximize carbon sequestration

in the soils through composting and grazing and to provide natural habitat for

wildlife on the farm as well.

Cost :

The hanging weight per quarter on the available quarters is 189.25 pounds. I'm

asking $2.35 per pound this year which would

work out to $444.74 plus processing cost. Processing costs are in the $110 to

$130 range depending on the specific cutting instructions. A quarter will be

about 35% ground beef as a general rule, with steaks, roasts and other cuts

making up the balance

Depending on your cutting instructions, the packaged quarter will be about 60%

of the hanging weight - about 113 pounds. The savings are significant if you can

buy a quarter, compared for instance to the cost of grass-fed ground beef at the

store

Delivery is included in the metro area.

Call or email for a cutting instruction sheet ... it communicates your specific

choices to the butcher. I will need cutting instructions returned to me by

Wednesday the 15th for the currently available quarters.

Let me know if you have question.
