CSA Member Updates

Our beef farmer neighbor. Edgar Brown, is raising shorthorn cattle on pasture. His feeding program is forage based in the summer and he feeds hay, field peas, oats, and barley in the winter. Corn is not fed to the finishing animals. No hormone implants or growth promotants are used.
Anti-biotics are not a part of his feed ration.
If needed they may be used on a per case basis - these animals are identified. Chemical dewormers are used. Edgar welcomes any questions.
He will be selling beef by the 1/4, 1/2, and whole
and they will available for pick up in Hinckley, MN
in the fall and winter. He will have limited availability of beef in the summer as well, so contact him for more details.
Processing is done in Hinckley, and the frozen packaged beef is picked up at the processing plant. The cattle are handled in a kind and gentle manner. He loves his cows and they respond to his kindness.
The cost is $1.70 hanging weight plus processing costs of about $.45 per pound hanging weight.
The hanging weight is not the same as the
packaged weight. Please call Edgar directly at
218 372-3930 for details, ordering, or any questions you may have. We are not raising or selling this beef at La Finca, and are unable to answer any questions - please don't call the farm.
