~Welcome to February!~

Family & Farm Update

We start calving next month, and we will start butchering beef again! We took a break with the weather, and I am so glad we did. As many of you know Charlies raising our cattle, custom feeding cattle for other people, feeding commercial cattle of our own, and he is working for someone else feeding their cattle. Although the cattle market is a rollercoaster right now, and no one is sure when it will end, he still loves it (even with the added market stress). Fat cattle aka cattle ready to butcher have been selling for almost four grand, and small baby calves are selling for about two grand. No one has seen cattle selling this high. Could you find some cattle on the east coast cheaper, probably, but cattle country is really from Texas, up to Montana. Good hardy cattle, with good genetics, good frame, and good husbandry are not usually found on the east coast. I can name some great farms who do raise cattle well in the region, but I can name more who don't if that makes since. 

We still haven't heard on our grant yet, and with other grants being cut, we are really praying we get this one. This would be huge for our business and allow us to expand our direct to consumer side like we want in a more sustainable way. In other news, Charlie turns 37 today, and Harper turns 2 on March 6th. Time has flown by and I feel like we just started this journey as a family. This month is limited on what we have, so I will do my best to honor requests, but we will be ground beef heavy this month.

Shipping and Box Update

We will be shipping out club boxes today and tomorrow -weather depending, expecting a good snow storm.
