BEEF
OVERVIEW
​
This enterprise is the newest enterprise addition to L. Garrabrant Farms. L. Garrabrant Farms operates a small beef herd that consists of 9 brood cows and a bull. The cows are bred for early spring calving, typically in March or April. We operate as a cow-calf to preconditioning to feedlot to finish operation. The beef cow enterprise offers a solution to the hay enterprise as an outlet for hay that doesn’t meet our premium quality standards for the equestrian market.
FREEZER BEEF
​
L. Garrabrant Farms currently markets our finished cattle direct to the consumer as freezer beef. For more information, please email us.
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
​
L. Garrabrant Farms is exploring the economics and viability of expanding this enterprise. We are exploring ideas of how to incorporate post-harvest grazing of crop residue and cover crops and the pros and cons to our herd, soil health and profitability.
