We sell our pasture raised grassfed beef, lamb, sheep, honey, and eggs on the farm and at the Lexington Farmers Market at the Depot. BN Acres is pleased to invite you to purchase our grass fed beef directly! The farm name represents our grandparents, Banks and Nona. Now that they have passed, we have continued their heritage to raise prime Charolais beef. Charolais cattle are one of the oldest beef cattle breeds in the world, native to the Charolles region in France. Our grandfather selected this breed because of the healthier aspect of leaner beef. Our cattle graze over 100+ acres of pasture on grasses indigenous to the region. We do not rely on artificially processed feeds nor do we use growth hormones. Our cows are the pride and joy of what we do every day. Through careful planning we have a strong and healthy herd that was built to thrive in the varying Piedmont NC climate. If we must use antibiotics or other veterinary treatments, the cow is removed from our program. We only offer antibiotic & hormone-free, grass-fed beef to our customers. Try as we may, no cattle are ever identical and because of this, we have to sell in what are called virtual units or shares of cattle. We offer whole side (1/2 unit), half side (1/4 unit) and quarter side (1/8 unit):
· A full side is roughly lbs. of beef and sold
· A half side is roughly lbs and sold at lb;
· A quarter side is roughly lbs and sold at lb. We ask that you plan for a 5% actual adjustment on these weights due to variation of muscle composition in the cattle. That means that if you plan on purchasing a whole side, be prepared to take delivery of as little as 205 lbs. to as much as 226 lbs. A half side will consist of roughly 36 lbs. of beef for roasting, 43 lbs. of steaks, and 33 lbs. of ground beef. A whole side will be double those values with a quarter side being half that amount. All steak cuts will be made at a 1” thickness unless requested prior to the harvest date. All meat will be packaged in airtight freezer bags, which keep the meat fresh for up to 2 years and arrive frozen. This allows the meat to be all natural and preservative free, having no effect on taste or texture. All of our beef is naturally high in omega-3 fatty acids, which increase good cholesterol and help lower bad cholesterol. With our program you pay for only the beef that you take home, the finish weight. We do not sell our beef at the hanging weight! We also sell our meat in individual packages. Pricing is as follows:
