Angus Beef

Beef purchased as quarters, sides, or whole is custom cut by the butcher to your specifications. Pricing is based on hanging carcass weight, allowing you full flexibility in how to have it cut.

For those customers looking for a smaller quantity, we also offer an Angus Sampler Pack, which consists of 40lbs of a good variety of 1/3 steaks, 1/3 roasts, and 1/3 ground beef. If you need additional ground beef to supplement your order, we offer a Ground Beef Unit, which has forty 1lb packages of ground beef.

Berkshire Pork

Pork can also be custom cut to your specifications, and is available as a side or a whole. Each will include a variety of pork cuts, including smoked meats and several kinds of sausages.

We also offer a Berkshire Sampler Pack, which consists of 35lbs of a good variety of all your favorite pork cuts, similar to the custom cut orders, but in a smaller package.

Our Breeding Program

We are striving to breed some of the best Angus Cattle to be found in the Northeast, and have become New Jersey's leading supplier of Purebred Angus Breeding Stock.

Our breeding philosophy is simple. There are three main criteria we use in our selection process, and only those cattle that excel in all three areas go on to be a part of our breeding program.

First, we stress the maternal traits. Our cows have to be fertile, calve easy and raise a big calf on an all roughage diet, and they must have the fleshing ability and the structural soundness to be able to do so year after year.
Secondly, we focus on growth. Our animals have to grow rapidly, mature early, and do so
Thirdly, we select for carcass quality. Using the latest ultrasound technology, we can identify those animals that exhibit superior carcass traits, whereby we not only control how much we produce, but also what we produce.

Extensive use of highly proven and superior Angus bulls via Artificial Insemination has allowed us to make rapid progress. Furthermore, elite genetics have been brought in from some of the top programs across the country.
