The Anoka-Butte Lumber Company - Marlowe Farm's is a small grass based farm located in the hills of Northern Nebraska. The Anoka-Butte Lumber Company was owned and operated by my family from 1936-1993. I am in the process of resurrecting it. Hogs and cattle were a part the family business.

I moved onto this farm in August of 2003. I raise cattle, sheep and pigs. All animals are raised on pasture. Cattle and sheep are fed exclusively grass and a limited amount of hay in the winter months. The cows, sheep and pigs are rotated through a series of paddocks. The pigs are fed varying amounts of grain depending on class. Sows and gilts graze/forage for the bulk of their diet with some corn fed as an energy supplement and to keep them docile. Growing pigs are fed a ground corn/soybean ration. Low-grain pork and No-grain pork are available upon request.

By keeping livestock in the pastures manure is spread evenly across the ground. What manure is collected around the barns is spread on my poorest ground. I'm hoping the application of manure to my poorest ground will in time make it some of my best ground.

At this time I only have pork available for sale. I do ship.

Bohaty's British Whites & Gourmet Grass Fed Beef. Our grass fed steers receive no hormones, antibiotics, or animal by-products. We use British White genetics (a docile breed) known for producing tender, well-marbled beef giving a truly gourmet eating experience with all the health benefits of grass fed.

Our steers graze on irrigated rye grass, high sugar forage sorghum, and Italian rye grass, ensuring a daily weight gain that is necessary for proper marbling. Our steers have ample room to move about as they graze and fresh water and mineral supplements are always available. We rotate our steers to fresh grass every few days so they receive only the best lush grasses. The gentle handling we use with our cattle is an important element in producing a quality eating experience.

Our beef is sold in wholes, halves and quarters and is available from October through December. See our website at http://www.gourmetgrassfedbeef.com for more information.

We also sell British White seed stock. (See www.britishcattle.com for more information.)

Circle Arrow Longhorns is a family-owned and operated business whose mission is to produce safe, wholesome, all-natural grass-fed meat products. Our beef is not only healthy, it is extremely tender, juicy, flavorful, and most important, safe. We are dedicated to respecting our animals, the environment and our customers needs.

Longhorn meat is naturally low-fat, but our cattle are also raised on free-range pasture and forage with no grain, antibiotics, or steroids, which makes them even higher in Omega 3 and other important nutrients. The cattle are processed and packaged at a USDA inspected plant using a revolutionary process called Rinse and Chill, which drastically reduces the dangers of E. coli and gives the meat a wonderfully fresh taste and smell.

We also provide an all-natural raw diet for the four-legged members of our customers' families.

Look for us at the Niwot, Colorado Farmers Market every other Sunday starting July 1st.

Dakota Harvest Farm is located in very extreme South Dakota, a few miles away from both Iowa and Nebraska. Dakota Harvest Farm raises Dorper lambs in a natural environment. Dorpers are a “hair” sheep rather than wool breed and are specially developed for the quality of their meat.

All of our lambs are born and raised naturally with their mothers on our pastures so we can guarantee that they’re healthy. They spend their time on pastures getting plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and clean water as they roam. In the winter months, they are fed alfalfa hay, also grown on our farm, to provide them with optimum nutrition and health. In turn, they produce a lean, healthy, nutrient dense and protein rich meat.

We don’t administer growth hormones or antibiotics. We do not feed any animal byproducts. We do not apply artificial fertilizers or chemicals on our pastures.

Our specialty items include Lamb Filet Mignon, Lamb Summer Sausage, and Smoked Leg of lamb. Other lamb products are:

·  Leg of Lamb (boneless)
·  Lamb Chop
·  Shanks
·  Spare Ribs
·  Shoulder Chop
·  Ground Lamb

We do ship our fresh lamb to your house.

Nebraska Natural Meats is a cooperative of eight farmers from northeast Nebraska who work together to provide a year-round supply of hormone-free, naturally-fed beef, chicken, duck, pork, and buffalo.

Our beef and buffalo meats are naturally lean because the animals are raised on a high-protein grass diet, and they get plenty of exercise while grazing. Some of the cattle are finished on a small amount of grain and all the buffalo are raised on grass only. You can request grass-only beef if that is your preference. Meat from animals raised on organically certified pasture is also available.

Buffalo (bison), beef and pork are available year round. Lamb and poultry are sold in season only. The beef and pork are available in whole, half or split half carcasses. Once your order is placed, the animal will be delivered to an agreed upon processing facility and your meat will be cut and wrapped to your specifications. All of the meat is handled in accordance with state and federal regulations. Prices are competitive with grocery store prices.

Oak View Park — Naturally Grass Fed and Grass Fattened Red Angus Beef. Oak View Beef is all natural, grass fed and grass fattened beef. We administer no hormones, feed no antibiotics or animal by-products.

We sell beef by the quarter, half, whole carcass, or cut and wrapped in a USDA inspected locker. Arrangements can be made for local delivery of the meat. If you're located in the vicinity of northeast Nebraska we will also deliver a fattened beef to a locker of your choosing for processing. We strongly believe in eating local and do not ship across country. We sell hamburger retail off the ranch.

Oak View Park is located on the eastern edge of the Nebraska Sandhills north of Orchard, NE. Our small ranch is entirely grass, sprinkled with cedar trees and oak covered creek bottoms. We move the cattle daily, weekly or monthly depending upon the range management goals. Fresh water is always available so the cattle can be healthy in a low-stress environment.

No synthetic insecticides, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides are applied anywhere on our place. We use organic and conventional fertilizers. Conventional fertilizers speed up rehabilitation of the land. Fertility is gradually being restored to soil that was mined out by conventional farming in the early 1900s. Our goal is to be naturally sustainable, eventually transforming the ranch to an organic enterprise.

The Perfect "10" Buffalo Ranch has 5,000 acres of certified organic prairie grasses sustaining a herd of 800 grass-finished bison. The ranch is large enough to allow the bison to roam at will on native prairie grasses, and the herd size is sufficient to recreate the natural social order of the animals. The end result is a low stress, healthy environment similar to the open plains of hundreds of years ago.

The Hutchinsons offer their "Tatonka Gourmet Bison" in quarters, halves, and whole animals. Individual cuts, 20# packages, and summer sausage are also available. The meat can be shipped UPS anywhere in the United States. New: bison jerky in five different varieties is now available for sale as well!
