Our cows are raised on pasture until the final 3-4 months. At that point we separate them and add non-gmo beef feed to their diet, once a day.

If you are interested in an all grass fed, grass finished beef. Reach out to me so we can discuss that option, julie@brinkerfamilyfarm.com Please put Grass Finished in subject line.

Price includes processing/cut & wrap fee. Processing will be done at Don’s Custom Meats.  Buyer will call Don’s Custom Meats to give a cut order.

This cost will be an added cost in addition to your  bill for the cow. You will pay remainder of bill for cow before pickup.

You will pay $4.25 per pound for 1/2 beef to Brinker Family Farm LLC after the cow is butchered and we have a final weight. We will take the deposit off that final total.

Pickup will be arranged from Don’s Custom Meats .They will call you when the processing is finished and ready for pickup. You will pay Don’s Custom Meats for the processing fees at time of pickup.

Buyer is in charge of calling in cut sheet prior to butcher date (April 16th, April 28th or September 29th 2026).
