Cabochon Farm - Zimmerman MN

Only 4 does left on milk test this month. Those vials look kind of lonely in that big box. But when it's well below zero degrees, it's nice to have a quick test. We'll be ramping up again in a few weeks when kidding season starts. Until then, I'm enjoying a little less time in the barn in this frigid weather.

Once again Wade at Riverside Meats and Processing did our on-farm harvest of our grass fed beef. Thanks to Wade, our animals never have to experience the stress of being hauled to a locker so their last day is as calm and respectful as possible.

Now taking deposits for our January Grass Fed Beef harvest.
We raise Aberdeen Angus - the small cattle known for producing tender, flavorful beef on pasture. Their small size is perfect for families seeking the convenience and value of purchasing custom processed freezer beef in a smaller size.
• No Antibiotics, No Growth Hormones
• Steaks & roasts at the cost of grass fed hamburger in the store
• Higher in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, the good fat!
• Locally Raised in Zimmerman, MN
• Dry aged and custom cut to your specifications
• $3.90/lb hanging weight plus processing for a half
Hanging weights average 200-300 lb per half
Processing costs are approximately $200 per half

We are having bucks collected by XCell Genetics today so let's hope our baby buck, Ilene's Rascals Winning Ticket, delivers for us! Watch for photos of the big event.

RETURN TO OFFICE SALE
I have to reduce our herd significantly due to return to office requirements. My commute is 2+ hours/day so I have to part with goats that I would really prefer to keep in the herd. Yearlings, Does and bucks available. Will be adding more this week.

Unfortunately I have to reduce our herd significantly due to return to office requirements. Working from home has been a joy and has allowed much more time to care for the herd. The commute for me …

We didn't get to go to the Bluff Country show this weekend because our truck had transmission issues and we had to turn around and come home. 😭 But there is always work to be done so Clayton spent the evening mowing pastures.
