The 1/4 share will yield approximately 130 lbs of farm fresh beef just in time for your family! The hanging and final weight can and will vary slightly as every animal is different and every processing order is different.
The $5.00/# is calculated on hanging weight (weight after the animal is slaughtered and before it is cut down into steaks, roasts, and ground beef) with an estimated total cost per 1/4 share being approximately $1,000.

How are your cattle raised? Our momma cows are on pasture year-round with supplemental high energy feed throguh a cover crop mix plus dry hay in the coldest weather to keep them healthy. Calves are born on pasture and around 6 months they're weaned and are either moved to a seperate pasture or dry lot where they are fed a similar winter feed made of chopped cover crops, a little supplemental grain for energy, and dry hay.
What breed are your cattle? You will receive carefully crafted meat from a Hereford cross animal. Bulls and cows are selected for marbling and tenderness and come from a Hereford base herd. T-A customers have fallen in love with the product and we continue to strive for this consistency and quality.

Our Values
Responsibility
Our animals are cared for in the most stress-reduced environment. From working with calm people and dogs to transporting in small batches, we are careful to keep the cows, calves, chickens, and market animals as calm and comfortable as possible. If an animal has a temper, she will find herself on the short list off the farm as she is a risk for our other animals and family. A low-stress or stress-free animal will have lower fight or flight hormone levels and therefore create a more tender cut of meat for your table.
Stewardship
We believe God has given us a tremendous opportunity to care for His land and animals. We are integrating regenerative practices like cover crops in our row crop and feed acres and intensive, adaptive grazing to enhance herd and pasture vitality and health.
Transparency
Our open doors are the best doors. Every corner and practice on our farm is open to visit and talk about! We also provide transparency in labeling. Our products are in fact born and raised here in Garnavillo, Iowa, United States. No funny business on buying or importing meat here! They are also raised the same way we raise our children. No recreational treatments and doing everything we can to keep them safe, healthy, happy, and flourishing.
