We love seeing the black cows with the white snow. Even when it was super cold this week they were happily chewing their cuds.

When it snows, the hair catches the snow and forms a layer over the cow. This creates an air pocket between the snow and the cow’s skin, which is then warmed by the cow’s natural body temperature of 102 degrees.

I agree with most of this. But we haven’t raised our prices, even when we easily could have, because we want our community to have a quality product at a fair price.

Hey friends 💛

Our freezer is freshly stocked, and we’re excited to share some of our Wagyu Cross beef with your family. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s known for the marbling that makes it so tender and literally melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

We know how important it is for families to have healthier, high-quality food options, but we also know it has to fit the budget. That’s why even though Wagyu is usually top-of-the-line, we work hard to keep our prices fair and family-friendly.

This time we added a couple of favorites to make dinnertime even easier:
🍔 Hamburger patties (perfect for quick meals!)
🥩 Delmonico steaks (a new treat for the grill!)

From our family to yours, thank you for continuing to support Mast Beef. It means the world to us to know that the beef we raise goes straight to the tables of families right here in our community.

Send us a message if you’d like to stock your freezer, we’d love to help feed your family too.

— The Mast Family 🐄❤️

Fall calving is officially underway, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! The weather has been on our side, and our first-time heifers have exceeded expectations. Excited for what the rest of the season will bring!

Support local producers and avoid the hassle.
Buying local ensures fresher, higher-quality products and helps you avoid the common issues that come with mass distribution—like delays, damaged goods, or inconsistent standards. Choose local and experience the difference in both service and reliability.

Beef production has declined compared to both last week and the same period last year. This trend suggests two key implications:
1. In the short term, beef prices are likely to rise if reduced production continues—an unfavorable outcome for consumers.
2. On a more positive note, the retention of heifers for breeding purposes rather than sending them to market indicates a focus on herd rebuilding. This is a strategic move that could benefit the U.S. beef supply and stabilize prices over the long term.

Total beef production under Federal inspection for the week ending Saturday, May 31, 2025 was estimated at 414.8 million lbs. from an estimated 477,000 head. That is down 16.5% from last week and down 9.4% from a year ago.
% of total cattle slaughtered by class; Steers -- 48.4% Heifers -- 33.7% Cows -- 16.3%. Bulls -- 1.6%

✨BIG NEWS from Mast Beef!✨
We’re beyond excited to share that our very first Wagyu-bred calf has officially been born into our herd! 🐮💫

Building and improving the genetics of our herd has been a dream in the making for years. We’ve talked about it, researched it, and second-guessed every step — but about a year and a half ago, we decided to go for it. And today, that decision came full circle with this beautiful little girl.

She’s thriving, her momma is doing great, and our boys are already totally smitten. 💕 Watching this journey unfold right here on our farm has been both humbling and incredibly exciting.

Here’s to chasing dreams, learning as we grow, and building a herd we’re truly proud of.

We are so proud to be teaching valuable life skills here on our small farm. Lochlan has truly grown into an incredible help — he will do anything we ask, and he does it well.
He excels in most sports he plays, earns excellent grades, raises chickens for eggs, and even helped decide what we planted in the garden this year. He was also the driving force behind us getting a greenhouse!
This year, he learned how to change mower blades and now takes care of mowing the yard.
But raising cattle is his absolute favorite — he takes it so seriously that I’m not even allowed to feed hay to the momma cows when he’s home!
Here’s a video of him driving the skidloader.
I’ll always watch the gate for you, middle buddy.

While prices are set to rise per USDA you won’t see that reflected through us. We are here to provide farm raised beef to people in our community at sustainable prices.

2025 USDA retail beef prices are expected to average $8.25 per pound.

We recently donated a Mast Beef gift card that ended up in the hands of one of the Wabash wrestlers—and we couldn’t be happier about who won it!

It just so happens he’s part of a family that’s one of our absolute favorites. These four boys are wild, crazy, and full of energy—in the best way. They’ve got a way of lighting up any room and leaving everyone smiling. Fierce when it comes to what they love, and incredibly kind and compassionate to those they care about.

Our two youngest boys absolutely look up to them—and we’re more than okay with that.

Supporting local kids is always something we love doing, but it means just a little more when it’s kids like these.
