Whole or Half Cow

from $100.00

For Halves or Wholes: Pay half the listed price to reserve your beef, and pay the remainder when you receive your order. Final payment will depend on hang weight. Our sizes range from 400-500. Shipping beef is quite expensive, so call to discuss options if you are unable to pick up your large order at the butcher, or small orders at Windy Oaks.

We have a dream: that all cattle may enjoy fresh dew on grass as the first rays of sunshine stretch across the meadow. We believe happy, healthy animals make the best tasting, highest quality meat, which comes from a lifetime of letting cows be cows. Sunshine, fresh pasture, and consistent movement all contribute to the strong, active immune systems of our animals. 

Our grass-fed, grass-finished Angus beef are raised with humane, organic practices from birth to harvest, on our own Bermuda-gone-native pastures, off Highway 47, between Canton & Mabank.  Our land is never treated with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or synthetic fertilizers, and our cattle never receive hormones, grain, or antibiotics. In other words, we use nature as our guide in managing our animals.

Our grass-fed, grass-finished 2-year-old steers and heifers are finished by weight and conformation with our own toxin-free pasture forages.  Our steers usually finish at a live weight of 1,000-1,200 pounds and a hanging weight of 400-600 pounds. The final hanging weights are taken by the butcher at harvest. Although we no longer pay for certification, we continue to comply with the HUMANE standards of The Global Animal Partnership (globalanimalpartnership.org) and GRASSFED standards of The American Grass fed Association (americangrassfed.org).

Your beef order can be cut to your specifications. Secure your order with half payment, with the remainder due upon receipt. We offer complimentary delivery of wholes, halves, and quarters.
