Beef/Buffalo

Beef is a good source for zinc, iron, protein and many B-vitamins- nutrients that help maintain the immune system, help mental development in children and build muscles.

We take pride in raising our Black Angus Beef, which consists of a cow calf herd out in pasture. The other part of herd is the fed beef, which are finished in a animal comfort feed lot barns and are all clean and happy healthy cattle. The Beef operation is growing into a Point of Origin, which means born and raised on our farm. Our beef are not fed steroids, hormones, antibiotics or any animal byproducts. We are a conventional farm producing healthy, nutritious and tasty beef product. There is no difference in nutrition or safety between organic and conventional beef.

For Processed Beef Sales, Oneida Farm needs to follow State Meat Inspections, which is implemented at the local meat processor. Our processed beef is sold by the hanging weight, quarter ( split 1/2), half or a whole. The term hanging weight is the cost of the beef carcass to be processed with the bone and trim, packaged frozen, and when the order is ready at the processor, you will receive a call from us.
