At Widdershins all our livestock are allowed free access to our natural
Maine pastures & home grown hay.
We sell grass fed beef, either by the pound or as custom cut sides or whole steers. 
Steers are started on milk from our Jersey milk cows until weaning at 12 to 16 weeks, then are raised on pasture and hay until ready for market at approx. 18 months old. 
The steers and Devon herd are strictly grass fed, which offers our clients
a healthier, better grade of meat.

Grass-Fed meat go to:

For custom cut sides/wholes our steers are delivered to the butcher by us,
buyers pay their own butcher bill, and pay us $1.85 per pound
of the beefs hanging weight.  (pre-cutting, wrap & freezing)

If you are interested in purchasing grass fed beef or a custom side or whole steer from us

Devon Cattle

Our Devon herd started with a bred cow and a heifer calf purchased from Cliff Wood of Fairfield Center, ME in 2005.  Mr. Wood had raised beef Devons for over 50 years and we are very lucky to have obtained such a nice pair of cows to start our herd.  In 2007 we had a pure Devon heifer born, (a grand-daugter of Rotokowa 688), and purchased another pure Devon heifer from Cliff Wood, as
well as a bull from Joel & Sally Moore's Applewood Farm.   Currently our pure Devon herd
consists of 12 Pure Devons,  2 reg. 1/2  Devon heifers and 1/2 Devon steers.
