We are in the process of changing our name to "Crooked Gap Farm". We
are still the same farm and same farmers - just with a new name! This
site will remain active throughout our name change and will be updated
with new links as they become available. Thank you for your patience!
Grassfed Beef
At Crooked Gap Farm we have a registered herd of Dexter cattle. Dexters are a heritage breed that are quite
efficient in producing great tasting, healthy meat on a diet consisting
purely of forages, just as cattle were created to do. Our Dexters are moved daily to new pasture, providing fresh forages, helping to spread nutrients across our farm, and naturally breaking the parasite life cycle. We do not feed our cattle any grains, and they are not given or fed any antibiotics or hormones.
The Dexter breed originated on small family farms during the 1800's. It is a smaller breed which makes a whole or half steer perfect for a
family. This breed not only produces award winning beef, but they also are used as
draft animals and family milk cows, making them a tri-purpose breed. You can read more, here, about this heritage breed on the American
Livestock Breeds Conservancy website.
We offer wholes, halves, and individual cuts of our grass fed Dexter Beef. We also occasionaly have breeding stock avaiable. Please look at our Purchase page
for information on ordering.
