Looking for a great sauce for making delectable barbecue brisket burnt ends? This “Swangy” Swamp Sauce is tough to beat!

Developed just down the road in nearby Richmond County, this sweet-and-tangy sauce is perfect not only for making burnt ends, but also for pork and chicken as well.

And at only $6/bottle, it’s a good price, too! We usually say that our beef is so good that no sauce is needed, and that’s true, but Texas-style burnt ends are a delicacy that’s hard to beat. Come by our farm and pick up a brisket and a bottle of sauce to try!

Did you know that if you order a half or a whole cow, you have the option to specially request that your brisket be cut into small pieces like this?

For hardcore brisket aficionados, the only way to purchase a brisket is as a whole “packer” brisket (one of which comes standard with a half cow, and two of which come standard with a whole cow). However, if you want to cook your brisket in smaller, more manageable chunks (perhaps even in the oven like Matthew and Hannah Parker did this past Sunday for a church potluck), these smaller brisket “quarters” may be just right for you.

If you’d like to give one a try, we have them in stock now for the standard brisket price of $10.99/lb. We also have half and whole briskets available as well.

To schedule a time to come pick up your beef, reach out to Carol Parker at (910) 639-3969, or Matthew Parker at (910) 639-8115.

We’d like to give a big shoutout to Frank Mason at Mason Ridge Farm. Frank owns multigenerational farmland in the Spring Lake/Anderson Creek area of Harnett County. This year, Frank’s farm produced its first cash crop in decades: square bales of Coastal bermudagrass hay.

Frank hired us to sprig his farm last year, meticulously managed his grass for a year and a half, and did well in harvesting two cuttings of hay this year. Frank is a great supporter of our farm, and we appreciate and value his work as a fellow bermudagrass hay producer as well.

One of the most fulfilling parts of what we do here at Terrace Ridge Farm is getting farms like Frank’s back up and running again. When the profitability of to***co crops collapsed in North Carolina more than 20 years ago, a lot of valuable farmland was left without an obvious crop to be planted on it. We’re passionate about preserving North Carolina farmland, and a big part of that is helping people find the right food, forage, or fiber crop for them.

We’d love to see many more new farmers like Frank find different ways to keep their farmland preserved and paying for itself in agricultural production!

With your order of a quarter steer, half steer, or whole steer, you’ll not only put ribeyes and New York strips like these in your freezer, but you’ll also receive lots of other cuts: ground beef, roasts, ribs, lots of other steaks, and more!

If you order a half or whole steer, you can also customize your beef order for no additional cost. This means that you could choose to cut your roasts into steaks or grind them into more ground beef, or you could turn your roasts into cubed steak or fajita/stir fry strips, or you could do all boneless or bone-in cuts or a variety of each, and much more. The options are almost endless!

Our pricing structure is provided on our website, and currently, our pricing is $6.49 per pound of hanging weight for Angus beef and $6.99 per pound of hanging weight for Wagyu/Angus cross beef, plus processing costs of approximately $1.65 per pound of hanging weight.

At current pricing, Angus halves typically work out in the ballpark of between $2,700 and $3,100 total, and Wagyu/Angus cross halves typically work out in the ballpark of between $2,900 and $3,300 total.

You can order on our website, but also please free to reach out to Matthew Parker at (910) 639-8115 with any questions or to place your order over the phone. Beef pickup is at our farm at 208 Ring Road, Carthage, NC 28327.

We baled some quality fourth-cutting Tifton 44 bermudagrass horse hay this week! These unseasonably warm temperatures in October are good for at least one thing - getting hay dry.

We have a small amount of our grass-finished beef in stock and available for sale by the cut or by the box for a limited time! Reach out to Carol Parker at (910) 639-3969 to schedule your beef pickup.

Also, if you have one of our standard pasture-raised and grain supplemented beef boxes already on order, it’s in the works and will be ready as soon as possible! We’ll be picking up more beef in a couple of weeks and will be filling your beef orders chronologically in the order that they’re placed.

There is typically a bit of a lead time for our beef because it’s in such high demand, but the sooner you place your order, the sooner it will be ready.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Our beef is located at our fourth-generation North Carolina Century Farm at 208 Ring Road, Carthage, NC 28327.

If you test the hay that you feed to your horses, cows, or other livestock, you may want to perk up your ears! Here’s a little tip.

These two hay tests aren’t just out of the same batch of hay. They’re actually tested from the exact same sample! Yet, the first test shows a calcium content of 0.44% and a phosphorus content of 0.16%, while the second test shows a calcium content of 0.17% and a phosphorus content of 0.24%. That’s a big difference!

As you probably know, livestock such as horses and cows need an overall diet with a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of at least 1:1 at a bare minimum. So, which test is correct?

Turns out, the first test with the good calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 2.75 is correct, so this hay is very safe. But what could have caused the huge difference between these two tests that were performed on the exact same sample?!?

The answer is that the first test was performed using a “wet chemistry” method and is more expensive, and the second test was performed using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) methods, and it’s cheaper and faster.

NIR tests are accurate for protein, fiber, and sugar, but as you can see, they are completely unreliable and, frankly, worse than a complete guess when it comes to mineral concentrations.

Because the NIR method is faster, we got the second hay test back first. When we received the confirmatory wet chemistry test, it validated our suspicion that the calcium and phosphorus concentrations found by the NIR test were totally incorrect.

If you’re testing your hay and only care about protein, fiber, and sugar, NIR tests work fine. If you want an accurate mineral analysis, choose the wet chemistry option every time!
