BEEF SHARES
The Randall heritage genetics produce tender, well-marbled beef, thanks to the all-grass diet on which the cattle are raised. The farm offers 20-pound boxes of meat, roughly one-sixteenth of a steer. These boxes contain a variety of cuts, including high- and medium-priced selections, ground beef, and stew meat. Customers can call the farm for assistance in choosing a box that fits their preferences, or they can view options in person.
Little Seed Garden Farm has been raising Randalls for 20 years to preserve the breed for future generations. These cattle are hardy, healthy, and naturally intelligent, thriving on an all-grass diet. The cattle keep their horns and tails at the farm and live outdoors year-round. The cows are excellent mothers; mothers and their calves stay together, and the calves naturally wean at about nine months. By purchasing meat from Little Seed, customers help support the continuation of this wonderful breed, which currently numbers fewer than 500 individuals worldwide.
