In their words.
Butler Creek Farm grass-fed cows are born and raised on a small coastal Oregon Century Farm that was homesteaded by our family in the 1800s. The farm includes old growth timber, salt marsh and alluvial flood plain pastures. Our cows are humanely treated and graze our pastures year round. Their winter diets are supplemented with clover and grass hay grown and harvested on-site. They are not fed any grains. They do not receive any hormones or low level antibiotics. They do receive immunizations and de-worming solutions as recommended by our herd veterinarian to keep them healthy in our lush environment. Beef is sold by the whole, half, or quarter animal. We also sell hamburger by the quarter animal. Our cattle are butchered on-site by a licensed mobile butcher. This is carefully done away from the rest of the herd. The butcher hauls the hanging beef in a refrigerated truck to the custom meat packing plant, where it is aged under refrigeration. We use one butcher in Eugene and one in Bandon. We only sell our beef directly to consumers each fall (typically) with the option of delivery for a $45 fee, or you can pick up your product directly from the butcher.
Butler Creek Farm lists grass-fed on their public-facing materials. These are the producer’s own claims; we do not independently audit them.
