Sky,

here in TN, I have 410 acres of prime cattle land. Currently my farm hosts 134 head of beef. Well I guess that number is now 137(just had three calves born over the past couple of weeks)... We do a Alack Angus/Charlotte mix...

All of our beef is free range, and grass/hay fed.

You are right, it is just plain better beef. It is all I eat. Since I moved back home to my farm, I cannot remember buying meat at the local grocer.


We sell to the cattle market / stock yards locally, and if you have the land there is a business to be had and profit to be made... Take it from someone who has grown up in the beef business, Once you cross the 50 head mark, it becomes a whole different ball game... As you know the upkeep and maintenance on a farm is outstanding.

DO you grow your own hay? Or do you buy it from someone else... I do not know how your fields are but down here, during the winter months we have supplement our cattle with a steady supply of hay/alfalfa ...


If you have any questions, I would be glad to tell you anything I can.
