Hayes Grass-Fed Beef

All cattle at Hayes Grass-Fed Beef are pasture-born and pasture-raised, grazing on the farm's own land throughout their lives. The farm raises a herd of Angus cows bred with Gelbvieh and Balancer Bulls; heifers born on the farm are kept to replace older cattle, and new bulls are purchased as needed, keeping the herd self-sustaining. Individual packages carry the USDA stamp on each vacuum-sealed package. For bulk orders, the farm works with Sander Processing in Celestine, Indiana, where beef is cooled and aged approximately 7 to 10 days before processing begins. The farm has paid membership dues to the American Grassfed Association and has expressed intent to pursue AGA certification once the process is complete, though certification has not yet been confirmed.
