“Sustainable Beef”

Does that mean you have enough beef in your freezer so you never run out?

My wife and raise Angus beef cattle on our farm in Florida.

We are not commercial but we run our cattle operation like it is.

We have between 18 and 30 head at any one time, depending on our calf production and sales to the cattle auction. It's calving season now. We already have five calves with eleven more expected by March.

We just put an entire side of beef up in the freezer right before Christmas. We had the butcher house hang it for three weeks before cutting it up. It will last my wife and I two to four years.

Had our first taste of it on Christmas Day when we BBQ'd steaks and hamburgers for the family. Boy, was it tender and flavorful! Mmmm....

It was a real hit. Now the relatives want to pay us to butcher another one for their freezers.
