natural Maine pastures & home grown hay.
We sell grass fed beef, either frozen by the cut or as custom cut sides or whole steers.
Steers are raised by their Devon mother cows or if purchased as calves, they are started on milk from our Jersey milk cows until weaning at 16 weeks,
then are raised on pasture and hay until ready for market.
The steers and Devon herd are strictly grass fed, which offers our clients
a healthier, better grade of meat.
If you would like to learn more about
Grass-Fed meat go to: www.eatwild.com
For custom cut sides/wholes our steers are delivered to the butcher by us,
buyers pay their own butcher bill, and pay us $1.95 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. Currently our registered Devon herd
consists of 15 Pure Devons, and 4 percentage Devon heifers.

We have been crossing our Jersey milk cows with our Devon bulls to both produce steers for our grass-fed beef sales and for heifers to milk. The hope is for heifers that will hold better body condition
with less or no grain and still have adequate milk production.
