In July 2008, we took two of our Angus steers to Thomas Brothers’ Slaughter House in Wilkesboro, North Carolina for the first time. From these two steers, we got almost 600 pounds of meat! The meat is for sale every Saturday at the Watauga County Farmers’ Market.
The steers were born and raised on Creeksong Farm. They were never vaccinated, or given antibiotics or growth hormones. After being on their mothers in our pasture for six months, the steers were fed a diet of 75% hay (from our farm) and 25% locally grown and milled grain through the winter. After May 1st, 2008, they were exclusively pastured until slaughter. Our pastures and hay fields do not receive applications of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides. The steers were slaughtered at Thomas Brothers’ Slaughter House in Wilkesboro under the supervision of a USDA inspector. The carcasses were dry aged for ten days to promote the best flavor and tenderness.
This meat is all natural, chemical free, and humanely raised and slaughtered.
