Their last day matters
We are grateful to have a state-inspected mobile slaughter unit that allows us to harvest our animals in their natural environment. Harvesting our livestock here on the farm makes their last day far less stressful than hauling them off the farm; and is not only what’s best for them but without the release of stress hormones the meat is also tastier for you.
“I have been buying lamb and beef from Brit for over a year now. I started out with the grazer boxes, and then, well, became such a fan of the quality that I even ordered a whole lamb! Never done that before. The meat is of the highest quality, and Brit adds to it all with her charming blog, recipe cards, and attentive service to her customers. It is truly a pleasure to do business with Brit and Matt. ”
“The quality of the beef is unmatched. There is nothing better than providing exceptional quality meat to my family knowing that it was raised humanely and treated with love. There is a wide selection of cuts to complement any family’s meal planning. The ordering process is quick and painless. Brit arranges pickup and delivery in an exceptionally timely manner, and does so with a personal touch that hardly makes it feel like a typical online purchase.
Brit is an absolute delight to do business with. In fact, she doesn’t make it feel like business at all. She is genuinely passionate about farming and providing the best quality and experience to her consumers. We actively follow Homestead Wisconsin, LLC on Facebook for updates, events, and glimpses into life at the farm. ”
“The beef we have from your farm is delicious to the point that it isn’t being rationed appropriately! We’ll surely be ordering more beef from your farm in the future. ”
“Her empathy, compassion and love of her work are expressed in her comments and shows in the quality of their products. When you know that the animals are treated humanly with sustainability in the environment, it makes the grass-fed meats all the more delicious. And delicious they are!”
“
It is a special day today at our house because I took the last two steaks out of the freezer to grill tonight.....that makes it a big day because we have tried to eat them only on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. This time we decided to turn the tables and MAKE it a special day because we’re having “the steaks” for dinner. ”
“The quality of the meat is evident and the taste is even better. The meat is extremely flavorful and tender”
Our livestock
We raise cattle and sheep
Brit’s mix started with a love of Herefords, her girlhood favorite. But since starting the farm in 2015 ‘Brit’s Pick’ has developed into quite the mix and match of Herefords, Hereford crosses, White Parks and Belted Galloway crosses.
What we’ve come to realize throughout the past several years is that in most cases breed matters less in terms of flavor than management style. We select our breeds based on how we’ve seen them perform (gain weight) on all forage diets. We’re intrigued by a mixed pallete of cattle that highlights the beauty of an all-forage management style and also brings out the best in their specific breed.
That’s why you’ll find a diverse mix of ‘breeds’ in our online shop. We believe in a sense of adventure when you cook and that one might delight your taste buds in a special way. Try them all or pick your favorite, the choice is yours.
Scottish Highlands are 'Matt's Pick' and were definitely brought to this farm because of their unique look, long horns and exceptionally lean beef. We particularly love this breed as they are exceptionally smart and docile, they've become our 'dogs' of the farmyard. Their long, shaggy coats keep them warm in our climate allowing them to produce less fat to stay warm than many other cattle breeds. This ability to keep warm without additional fat keeps their meat some of the leanest on the market.
This is one breed you can truly see and taste the difference. Scottish Highlands produce lean, tender and juicy cuts that when raised on 100% grass are leaner than chicken.
North Country Cheviot's, NCCs, are our newest farm addition. They are a dual purpose breed, meaning we harvest for lamb but also for wool. NCC's have a wonderful, mild lamb flavor that is easy for beef lovers to enjoy. We’ve received steller reviews of lamb from those who’ve never tried lamb before. We hope our favorite meat becomes a delight to serve in your home.
