Boorcrestfarm

Our cattle at Boorcrest Farm are raised  in a very loving & humane manner employing sustainable agricultural practices on our nearly 400 acre former dairy farm. We currently  keep a closed herd, and are growing the business slowly through artificial insemination of our base group of female brood cows. Our bloodlines are crosses of Angus, Hereferd, & Simmental. We utilize rotational pastures & water systems during the summer months, and feed quality haylage and corn silage from December thru April from our upright silos. We  grow some row crops for resale , and harvest small square bales of hay which are sold locally. Highly erodible land is currently being taken out of row crops and converted to either additional pasture or hay for the beef.

When you purchase beef from Boorcrest Farm, we will walk you through the process and make it easy!  You will be choosing between: a quarter, a side (half), or both sides of a market-ready steer/heifer. We do not have quantities of choice cuts for re-sale from the freezer. The price that you pay Boorcrest will be  based on the hanging weight of your order. Boorcrest will  pay the basic processing costs, and coordinate the pick-up date. Specialty orders, such as corned beef or smoked meat, can be provided for an additional cost that you negotiate with the butcher. The meat is to be picked up at the butcher’s the day it  is cut and wrapped. Our butcher encourages buyers to come to the shop early and ask questions!

The order page lists the approximate dates when a particular animal will be market-ready. As soon as deposits are placed, they will be removed from availability from the list.  There is a price break for purchasing a full side vs. a quarter to encourage buyers to go in together. If purchasing just a quarter, our butcher will split the choice cuts from both the front and back quarters with equal pounds of meat for each quarter customer. If a quarter is still too much meat, encourage a friend to go in with you!
