Cattle Were Designed To Eat Grass
Cattle are ruminants, and when they graze, their stomach/digestive system has a neutral pH balance. When feedlot steers are fed grains, their digestive system becomes acidic which may cause liver problems in the animal. In this high stress environment, most feedlot steers are fed a continual level of antibiotics to keep them healthy and gaining weight. Even with best management practices, traces of antibiotics may end up in the meat.
Why does this matter? Because it can weaken our own immune system and make it easier for drug resistant strains to evolve. To maximize growth, cattle are grain fed in feedlots and typically implanted with hormones to make them gain faster. A grain fed steer gains about 3-4 lbs per day. They can reach finished weights in 14-16 months.
We grow our Charolais steers free of grains, antibiotics and hormones.
We grow them in a stress-free environment so they remain healthy! It usually takes about 24 months for our steers to reach their finish weight – about fifty percent slower (longer) than cattle raised in commercial feedlots. It takes time to grow cattle according to the rules of nature, but it is worth it. The meat is leaner, lower in saturated fat, and lower in calories (up to 100 calories less in a six-ounce serving). Beef from grass fed steers has about 50% the saturated fat of that from grain-fed steers! Grain fed steers have a totally white fat. The fat in our grass fed steers is light orange colored due to the beta-carotene in the grass.
Baldwin Charolais Beef Is 100% Preservative Free
It is difficult to find additive-free beef in supermarkets. Most of it has sodium additives to protect it against bacteria and to extend shelf life. Baldwin Charolais Beef is 100% “preservative free” - it is vacuum-sealed and flash frozen at a custom USDA inspected plant.
Since our beginning in 1969, Baldwin Family Farms has been dedicated to producing all natural, grass fed, antibiotic free, family beef at reasonable prices. We handle every aspect of the operation except for final processing and sell DIRECT, keeping the path from pasture to plate as short as possible.
Our Promise To You

Why Halal?
Our beef are processed using strict guidelines. Halal is an Arabic word meaning
lawful or permitted. The term Halal Meats indicates that strict Koran
guidelines have been followed during harvest and processing of the
animals. Just as "Kosher" means that meat is processed correctly
according to Jewish law; likewise, "Halal" means that meat is processed
correctly according to the Muslin faith.
