Last year, I purchased “Fred” from Waverly Farms and split him up with a few friends. The beef was wonderful, and I am actually still benefiting from him, and I made a lovely Texas chili from a large chuck roast over the weekend.
Anyway, Patti Rosenburg left me a note the other day saying that she had half of “Horace” to sell. Also, if you are interested in an entire steer, than “Herman” is also available. These are Black Angus with a smidge of Charlais steer calves around 800 – 1000 lbs live weight. Packaged, labled, weighted, and dated cuts will weigh out at about 400 lbs for a whole, 200 for half or 100 for quarter share. It is upon that packaged weight that we apply the $5.50/lb price.
Waverly Farms sells Black Angus beef raised on pasture with a minimal amount of hand-fed corn to keep them friendly and manageable. The pastures are lush and free of pesticides and herbicides. The beef is raised naturally and slowly without growth hormones or antibiotics. They are rotated to fresh pasture frequently. They raise only a few select steer (6-10 per year) on 60 acres of fenced pasture. The typically butcher the calves when they exceed 1,000 lbs and are less than one year old. This produces the most tender grass fed beef.
In the stores you are paying that price per lb for just the ground beef of this quality. Here, you will get some choice cuts including ribeyes, strips, and tenderloin as part of the package. It really is a good price. If you are interested, please feel free to contact Patti by email or at 214-914-0323
