Beef Processing & Pricing

Barthold Bovines & D Barthold Farms are family owned & operated.  With over 4 generations of cattle raising and farming under our belt,  this family is deeply rooted in agriculture and the health and well-being of the livestock we  raise & produce.  

Buying locally allows the customer to be 100% sure of the quality and source of their beef. Meat in grocery stores labeled as "product of the USA" only have to be packaged in the US and not produced/processed here. Lots of meat products found in grocery stores  are products of Spain, Brazil and other countries where beef production & processing standards are not as high as in here in the USA. 

Our beef is a mix of 1/2 Scottish Highland & 1/2 Angus/Brangus. The cattle are raised on grass pastures, grain finished with locally grown corn, antibiotic & hormone free. Any of our beef program cattle that become sick or require antibiotics are removed from our program and sold at market. Our family watches over and cares for every cow that is born on the farm and we carefully select those we feel meet quality standards to be apart of our beef program.

Highland Beef is a more premium beef than your standard Angus., due to less of a thick fat cap from not having to insulate in thw winter time, Highland meat is more marbled and considered healthier than your standard angus beed.
