Why Buy a Half or Quarter Steer?
Choosing to buy a half or quarter steer from a local farm like Soggy Meadows Farm is an excellent way to enjoy premium beef while supporting sustainable agriculture. This approach not only offers incredible value but also aligns with a commitment to environmental stewardship and animal welfare. Here are the key benefits of purchasing beef in larger quantities from our range-free cows:
1. Unmatched Freshness and Quality
When you buy a half or quarter steer, you receive meat that is exceptionally fresh. Our range-free cows are raised in a natural setting, allowed to graze freely and live stress-free lives, which significantly enhances the quality of their meat. The beef you get is not only fresher but also richer in flavor and more tender than what you typically find at a grocery store.
2. Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food
Purchasing directly from a local farm means you know exactly where your food comes from. You have the opportunity to learn about our farming practices and the care we take in raising our cattle. This transparency builds trust and ensures that you are consuming beef that is raised ethically and sustainably.
3. Better Value and Cost Savings
Buying beef in bulk such as a half or quarter steer is more economical compared to purchasing individual cuts. You pay a flat rate per pound, which typically results in significant savings over retail pricing. This method of purchasing allows you to enjoy a variety of high-quality cuts, from steaks and roasts to ground beef, at a better price point.
4. Customization of Cuts
When you order a half or quarter steer, you can often customize how your beef is butchered. Whether you prefer more steaks than roasts, specific thicknesses for your cuts, or a particular type of ground beef, buying in bulk gives you the flexibility to tailor your order to your cooking preferences and dietary needs.
5. Support for Sustainable Farming Practices
By purchasing from a farm that raises range-free cows, you are supporting sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. Range-free cattle farming contributes to the maintenance of natural ecosystems, promotes soil regeneration, and reduces the carbon footprint associated with intensive agricultural practices.
6. Stock Up and Save Time
With a half or quarter steer, you can stock your freezer with several months’ worth of meat. This saves you multiple trips to the store and ensures you always have a supply of high-quality beef on hand, ready for any meal.
7. Health Benefits
Beef from range-free cows is typically healthier. It is lower in calories and fat but higher in important nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which are beneficial for your health. Eating meat from animals that have lived stress-free lives and eaten natural diets contributes to a healthier lifestyle.
