The Farm at South River

Our family farm is dedicated to the local production of healthy, flavorful Angus-based beef raised in a sustainable and healthy environment.

The Farm at South River is located in the heart of the South River Valley in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia. Situated in the center of nearly 1,000 acres of farmland that has been placed in Perpetual Conservation Easement, the area prohibits development and encourages preservation. Surrounded by panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the area is steeped in hist

ory and local folklore. Farm owners Cliff and Judy Braun and 17 family members call "The Farm"; their home-- including Judy’s mother, 3 adult children and their spouses and 8 grandchildren. Our farm manager's degree in Animal Husbandry and over 30 years of experience in the cattle business provide professional farm and herd management. In 1995, we decided to build a registered Angus program. Our original herd came from Mystic
Hill Farms as did our current herd bulls. Recently, we made a major herd expansion with Angus
cattle from Quaker Hill Farm. Combining these genetics with AI breeding to the best available
bulls should enable us to achieve our goal of producing consistently high quality, healthy and gentle Angus-based cattle. Our beef comes from family raised Black Angus and Angus/Simmental cows which are 100% pasture raised. We also raise Black Angus/Simmental cross cattle to combine the most desirable characteristics of these two breeds. Calves are born and raised here on the farm so we are able to vouch for their origin. Because our cattle are free-range, our beef is generally leaner than commercially produced beef. Our cattle never receive growth hormones or steroids. Our herd is vaccinated against common bovine diseases and if an animal becomes ill (an unusual occurrence) we treat them with antibiotics designed to cure the problem. Our cattle are grass-fed and their diet is supplemented with locally grown grain during the two months before processing to help tenderize and marble the meat and enhance its natural flavor. Our cows are processed at T&E Meats in Harrisonburg, VA- a USDA inspected and approved facility, where all cows processed are USDA inspected. Before our beef is portioned into individual cuts, it is dry aged for about three weeks. Dry aging means that the carcass is hung in a refrigerated room at a constant temperature of about 36 degrees. This process decreases the moisture content and increases the flavor and tenderness of the final product. After dry aging, the beef is cut into the desired assortment of end products, vacuum-sealed and flash frozen. The final frozen products are immediately returned to our farm where we keep them in deep freeze storage. We sell beef by the whole, half or quarter as well as individual (retail) cuts. We do not ship our beef, but it can be picked up at the farm or we can arrange to meet you at a mutually convenient location. The best option for individual cuts and the lowest price is to buy a whole or a half and then have it processed to your individual specifications. Current prices for individual cuts and whole, half and quarter quantities and beef packages are shown on the following pages. Not all cuts are available at all times. Please call or email to check availability.
