HERITAGE FARM & FIELD
100% Grass Fed & Finished Dexter Beef
Our Story
We are a family-owned farm specializing in raising registered Dexter cattle as grass fed beef. We believe cattle raised on high-quality pasture with room to roam produces highly nutritious and healthy beef, just the way nature intended. Our cattle are 100% grass fed and finished. We do not use anti-biotics or growth hormones. Our animals live on high-quality pastures with access to fresh, clean water. We harvest our own hay for winter feeding so our herd only consumes what we grow in our own fields, with the only source of fertilizer being what passes through the cattle. Our farm is a self-contained, ecologically-balanced, and sustainable environment.
Grass Fed & Finished
As more and more people become conscientious about the quality of the food they eat, the interest in grass fed beef is increasing. For many years, beef has been viewed as unhealthy; however, as with wild game, grass fed beef is highly nutritious and packed with healthy fats, protein, and minerals that are highly beneficial when eaten in the proper portions as part of a balanced diet.
Dexter Cattle
Dexters are an Irish heritage breed that are unchanged genetically since the 1800’s. The breed is highly efficient on natural forage and grass, meaning they readily add weight on pasture alone without the need for grain. The breed is also hearty with a mild demeanor. Unlike many breeds that have been optimized for size, Dexter cattle are approximately 2/3 the size of modern breeds with an adult cow weighing 800 lbs compared with an Angus or Hereford cow that typically weighs 1,200 lb.
