It’s a family affair getting the dirt leveled off for our upcoming project. Isaiah and P (and Mark and Grandpa) have been hard at work digging, hauling, and leveling dirt. We’re excited for our operation to be growing!

Today on the farm, we preg checked over 100 cows. Good news, we will have lots of babies come calving season. Mark was busy watching Lily at golf sectionals, so Mariah ran the books. Big shout out to Jessica and Mason for helping with the kiddos even in the peak of their busy season! We’re so grateful for great friends!

Our meat process starts here. We raise all of our beef from ground up. If you want to get on our books, call 217-552-8001 today!

Harvest season is quickly approaching, but before our farm gets to the fields in the combine, we have to chop silage for our cattle. The boys (and little helpers) have been working hard to make sure our cows are well fed this winter with food we can trust.

Best part, it makes our cows taste great! If you’re in need of freezer beef this year, we have cows that will be ready as soon as October/November. If that time doesn’t work for you, no worries, we will have more later in the year. Give us a call, buying IMS beef is one thing you will not regret!

There’s a better way to buy beef. We know not everyone has storage to buy a whole cow. We welcome you to come shop our freezer. We have a variety of cuts available! Grocery store prices are through the roof, nearing 8 or more dollars for ground beef. IMS Cattle has you covered. Our prices are cheaper than the local grocery store, and you will know where your meat comes from. We raise our cattle from the ground up. When you buy beef from IMS Cattle, you’re getting meat you can trust at a price you can afford. Contact Mariah at 217-552-8001 to “meat up” and stock your freezer.

Want to save even more? We still have cows available for October/November locker dates.

Meet your farm family!

IMS Cattle began in 2014 with a couple cows and some hard work. Over the years our farm has expanded to about 200 head.

Isaiah is the main guy. He loves to get his hands dirty and spends most of his time working cows, feeding cows, or in the field. He makes sure the operation is in working order.

Mariah does a lot of the behind the scenes things. She is in charge of the social media and is the main contact for freezer beef. She also helps wrangle the “apprentice farmers.” And on occasion you can see her hauling hay or in equipment when called upon.

Payton and Karsyn are our apprentice farmers! They love to watch and learn from their daddy. Payton loves being in the middle of everything and Karsyn is eagerly waiting for her turn!

Mark, Grandpa, and Gena also play a crucial role! We couldn’t do it without them!

We are so grateful to be part of a community that supports our local family farm! Do not hesitate to reach out to get beef for your freezer! We have quarters, halves, and whole cows available! Our personal freezer is also open. Call or text 217-552-8001 and we will be happy to help “meat” your needs!

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Labor Day weekend! We are so grateful for all the hard workers on our farm! From 2 to 70+ we couldn’t do it without any of them!
