Overlookbeef

Our Beef cows are raised as naturally as possible. They do get some feed to support them through the winter and as much grass and hay as possible. We believe that good healthy meat comes from animals that have been taken care of and treated well during their lives. This produces a better meat and protein source for your family to grow and thrive on.

So here is the thing…. I love to raise sheep. They are really neat animals…well not neat and tidy, but fun. They have wild personalities and there isn’t much cuter than a bunch of lambies bouncing around. . . But I love to eat them! I make people laugh all the time. I have some wonderful sheep. They are spoiled rotten. The babies are spoiled rotten. They lead the absolute best life, until their time to nourish us is due. They are humanely dealt with and provide in every way for our families to continue.

Lamb is a wonderful meat. Now I personally use ‘lamb’ interchangeably with any sheep meat. If you want to be technical I suppose ‘lamb meat’ might only be until they are a year old. Honestly I have eaten some older animals and I would be happy for anyone to try them.

If you have never had Lamb and would like to try it, contact me. I’ll arrange something. I would love to introduce you to this fabulous meat.

Meet Missy Moo – The most opinionated, stubborn, sweet, beautiful, bratty, spoiled, Holstein cow!

So I always wanted a milk cow. When Emory and I got together he decided I should have one. I believe in the power of raw milk and raw cream and the naturalness of it. There are so many benefits to real milk I cannot even list them all!

So that being said….Do you want to know about our milk? Missy is typically in milk 5-6 months out of the year. I make as much butter during that time as I can. I hand skim the milk for the cream which leaves the ‘drinking’ milk still full of flavor and some remaining milkfat. Her milk will always have more body than any commercial store milk. She does typically give between 2-3 GALLONS of milk a DAY in addition to feeding her baby. Please come help me!!!

She is a special cow to us. We raised her off of our first dairy cow who was a Jersey cow. Maybel was an amazing cow who we lost tragically but that’s another story for another day.

Missy was the cutest calf who has been told her whole life that her job is to make me milk. Now she thinks her job is to be a spoiled booger, but she begrudgingly gives us milk for which she gets lots of praise and bread.

Now I get the stubborn Cow look, A Lot!
