At Greer Farm we strive to provide the best beef possible for
our customers. Our herd is all fullblood French
Maine-Anjou except for a few crosses of Red Devon and
Maine-Anjou. Red Devon are a very old breed which are
said to offer superior grass-fed beef. Our cattle
live their days in a low-stress environment rotating between
pastures often so they have fresh green forage. This
way of life suits them and they remain naturally healthy. We
do not feed antibiotics, hormones or other artificial
supplements.
Our desire is to raise grass-fed beef finished on lush Northeast Texas spring and summer pastures. When drought occurs, as in recent years, it is difficult to accomplish this and cattle can be finished on alfalfa hay. Grass-fed beef is healthy for you. It is high in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and conjugated linoleic acid. For more info on the health benefits of grass-fed beef please see Jo Robinson's excellent site, Eatwild.
Some of our customers desire traditional grain-fed beef. We can meet this need using antibiotic-free grain at a slightly higher cost. We do what we can to meet your needs.
We use a local family owned meat processor. Our butcher takes personal interest in your order. Each piece is wrapped in plastic and butcher paper with the date of processing, your name and the type of cut. The butcher follows old-fashioned care in preparing your order. You can select the thickness of your steaks and roasts or make other cut requests. Soup and marrow bones are also available.
All our beef is dry aged and hangs in the cooler for up to three weeks before processing. When beef is dry aged the meat is affected in several ways. This process evaporates some of the moisture from the muscle creating a richer beef flavor. Dry aging also allows the beef's natural enzymes to break down the fibrous tissue, relaxing the proteins in the muscle and naturally tenderizing the meat.
Beef is sold as a whole piece of beef, side or split quarter. This comes to approximately 300, 150, and 75 pounds of finished beef, respectively. The cost of beef at harvest depends on whether it was grass-fed or grain-fed. Please contact us for current prices. In addition to the cost of the beef, there is an additional charge for processing. This is currently $75 per split quarter. This price does not include transportation of the beef to you. Many of our customers buy with their friends and divide a split quarter or half between themselves.
A split quarter generally includes:
• 12 to 15 steaks (T-bone, sirloin, etc)
• 4 to 5 roasts (Prime-rib, chuck, sirloin)
• 10 lbs of hamburger
• 12 lbs of stew meat
• 2 packages of beef shanks
• 2 packages of short ribs
• 4 packages of soup bones
It is unfortunate that we cannot always meet our customer needs due to the high demand for our special beef. While it would be nice to offer finished beef year-round, this is not possible when you grow out cattle in sequence with nature's cycles. Finishing cattle on grass takes special skill and perfect conditions. In the event we do not have cattle near the finished stage, we ask that you have patience. We will place you on our waiting list for delicious Greer Farm beef.
