Meat, All-natural, Grass-Fed beef About Us Welcome to HOMESTEAD NATURAL FOODS LLC web site http://homesteadnatural.com/ we are a group of like minded farmers and rancher united in the desire to furnish the consumer with a healthy choice of beef,pork,poultry,and eggs. Notice our name is foods we hope to furnish fruits and vegatables at some point in time. . The 4 beef producers met at a grass fed beef conference put on by Gerald Fry ( a leader in the grass fed beef industry well known for his knowledge of genetics)in the spring of 2006. We stayed in contact with each other and joined forces last summer to strenghten our marketing options.All of us follow the same protocal; no antibiotic no hormones or stimulants no grain ever allowing our cattle to mature at their own natural pace. Hello, we are Bill and Carol Gale. We live in Middleton, Idaho and had a grazing dairy untill October of 2008 when we decided it was time to sell the milk cows. We now have a hay and beef cow operation in Ontario, Oregon and use our Middleton pastures to fatten the cattle. We have 5 children and 6 grand children. Bill had been in the dairy business since he was 10. He helped his father milk and finally bought our place here in Middleton in 1980. We decided in 1992 to go to a grazing dairy for the health of the cows. We planted our 72 acres to pasture and over the years have imporved the quality of the grass by trying different varitites finally settling on a four-way mix of Bome, Tall Fesque, Prennial Rye and Alice White Clover. In 2004 with the passing of Carol's father we took over the family farm in Ontario, Oregon. Thinking to diversify and with the help of a son, who had been working in Nevada for several years, we decided to grow alfalfa and raise beef cattle. We established the Mesquite Cattle Co. LLC in 2006. In the winter of 2006 we bought an additional 100 acres close to the family farm which we have planted to alfalfa and grass with some wheat. This is where we have our mother cows and baby calves. We are able to track our cattle from birth to your table. After attending a grass fed beef conference in 2007 we learned how to identify animals for functionality and tenderness. We are using these methods to pick the steers to fatten on grass. We are now artifically breeding our heifers to Devon and Murrey Grey bulls imported from Australia. The Devon and Murrey Grey breeds of cattle are known to perform well on grass. These older genetics or grass genetics out perform modern feed lot style cattle on grass and will fatten in less time. Our cattle are fed home grown or locally grown feed that has not been genetically modified. We do not give them growth hormones or antibiotics. They are processed at an USDA inspected facility, Northwest Premium Meats, which is located in Nampa, Idaho. We offer our beef by the whole, half, split half or by the cut. The health benefits of eating grass fed beef are numerous but it is the taste and tenderness that will bring you back. We have joined forces with five other producers, suppling all natural grass fed beef, pork, and free range poultry and eggs. The new organiztion is Homestead Natural Foods LLC. Our web site will be up and running shortly. Browse through our Products for Sale |
