How soon do the cows go out on grass?
Our cows are out on grass almost their entire lives. Most of the calves are born right out in the field in the clean grass! As soon the weather is good enough for them to be outside (usually the middle of April or so), they are put in the field to ensure fresh, clean grass. In this way, the calves are eating grass as young as 5 days old! The steers are grown to 900-1200 pounds (they are usually about 24 months old by this time). |

How is the beef processed?
The beef is available in whole, half, or a split half. The beef is butchered at West Michigan Beef, aged, then sent to Byron Center Meats where it will be then cut, wrapped, and frozen according to your desires. Up to 70% of the meat can be in steaks and roasts! Grassfields also has beef cuts available to you in our on-farm store year-round.
