Finally got a break from the rain last week, so we took advantage of it and checked cows along with the fence and flood gates.

A little corn treat makes getting everyone to come closer a whole lot easier! It gives us a chance to make sure weโ€™ve got everybody accounted for and that everyone is looking healthy and doing well.

Nothing fancyโ€”just another day of keeping an eye on the herd before we dive into harvest.

Ever wondered what really happens from pasture to plate? ๐Ÿ„

This podcast does a great job walking through every stage of beef productionโ€”not just processing. It covers everything from how cattle are handled, to what happens inside the plant, and all the details in between that impact the final product.

๐ŸŽง Give it a listen (and watch!) here:

Thinking about ordering beef or pork from us? Hereโ€™s how the process works from start to finish ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ„ ๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ: ๐‘๐ž๐š๐œ๐ก ๐Ž๐ฎ๐ญ
Send us a message to place your order, and weโ€™ll get you added to our list. We schedule specific locker dates based on a set number of animals.

๐Ÿ“… ๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ: ๐ƒ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ-๐Ž๐Ÿ๐Ÿ ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ
The day your calf or pig goes in, weโ€™ll text you so you know itโ€™s officially headed to the locker.

๐Ÿฅฉ ๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ‘: ๐‚๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ
Where your animal is processed will determine how you submit your cut instructions:

- ๐Œ๐ข๐ฅ๐จ ๐‹๐จ๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ซ: Theyโ€™ll text you a link to complete your cut sheet online. You can also call them if youโ€™d rather talk through your options. I highly suggest looking at their website to see your cut options.

Processing typically takes a little over a week. The locker will contact you when your meat is ready for pickup.

- Guthrie County Locker also offers delivery if youโ€™re within their delivery area.

- Youโ€™ll pay the locker separately when you pick up your meat.

Thereโ€™s something pretty special about feeding our calves and pigs with something that came straight from our own fields ๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ–

Grinding up the corn we grew to make feed for this group reminds us why we do what we do. From planting to harvest to feedingโ€”it all comes full circle right here on the farm.

Even more meaningful is passing this down to the next generationโ€”teaching them the value of hard work, where their food comes from, and the pride in raising it yourself. ๐Ÿ’›

It takes time, patience, and a whole lot of effort, but watching these calves and pigs grow on feed we raised ourselves (and sharing that experience with our kids) makes it all worth it.
