No animal by-products of any kind are fed to our cattle.

Our cattle are harvested at the ideal age of, 16-24 months of age.

All meat is USDA inspected and only the healthiest animals are processed. Mad Cow Disease BSE is not a concern with Liberty Delight Farms. The cattle herd is maintained in excellent health, free of two common viral diseases, and free from the deadly O157 H7 strain of E coli as tested by federal health inspectors.

The Nutrition in Beef
If you are looking for a good food that can be considered a “multivitamin”, you need to look no further than beef. Three of the key nutrients are Zinc, Iron, and Protein – also known as "ZIP".

According to the USDA, a 3-ounce serving of beef supplies 50% of the daily recommendation for protein, 14% of the iron, and 39% of the zinc – all for just 10% of a 2,000 calorie diet.

The same serving provides 37% of the daily recommendation of B-12, 16% of B-6, 18% of Niacin, and 12% of Riboflavin. All that in a package that a vitamin pill would find hard to beat!

Our Cattle's Nutrition
Our cattle have access to free range on over 65 acres of pasture from birth to market. When our beef reach harvesting age they on average weigh 1100 to 1500 lbs live weight.

Our beef are all natural primarily grass fed they will never receive growth hormones, steroids, animal by-products or anything artificial during their life or at the processing phase.

University research has proven that feeding a consistent feed and eliminating the stress of weaning and change of nutrition from pasture to feedlot is the best way to achieve marbling in the meat.

At Liberty Delight our cattle from the day they are born have access to the same 65 acres of grass hay and feed, the only thing they give up is Mom’s milk around six months of age and they are never confined to a “feedlot.”
