Our steers are in large pens for the winter so they get outdoors and exercise every day. They are getting all our quality hay they can eat, plus a little home-grown corn, mostly just in winter. Feeding cows small amounts of good grains are like humans eating small portions of dessert. It’s ok for them as long as grass and legumes are their main diet. The steers are hung to age and processed by Ebel’s Meats in Falmouth, a family-run USDA operation.
