The Osterhout Farm

We searched for a farmer who would partner with us to raise cattle the way it used to be.  We found Claude Osterhoudt and his wife Holly from  CEO NATURAL BEEF FARM in Ulster County. Their family settled on their farm in Stone Ridge, New York in 1790. All their Black Angus Cattle are born and raised on their farm, free to roam and graze, fed on bailage and silage that is grown on the same land. *This process keeps their animals content and healthy.  In 2010 a brand new USDA inspected slaughter facility was constructed on this farm as well. Their cattle remain on the farm and are not transported for hundreds of miles. This also creates less stress on the animal.

·         They are not given any antibiotics or vaccinations.                          

·         They are not given any growth hormones.  

·         They are not finished as done on feed lots.        

·         They are not fattened in their last few months of life.

·         They are not stressed from overcrowding

*Feed lots change the animals daily routine and diet. This puts  incredible stress on the animals. The first thing that happens to stressed livestock is they stop eating and eventually get sick so they must be administered anti-biotics to keep them eating for a few months to put on those extra 3-5 pounds a day! imagine puttin on a few pounds a day! If you keep your animals content and care for them they won't get sick. It's not rocket science !

Wonder why supermarket meat has no flavor? It's why jug wines don't leave you with any great memory either. They are mass produced and care less on how they taste than about how cheap and quick they can make them. It's a consumer science!
 

Creekstone Farms

Our other Black Angus of choice  is CREEKSTONE FARMS, who has a “Buck the System” attitude on a more main stream scale.  They hand pick purchase their Cattle from a handful of exclusive farms with very critical solid Black Angus Genetics. This window shopping luxury comes at a $100 per head premium.

In case you don't believe it , Creekstone  Farms guaranties it.
