Vorfreude Dairy Beef

The quality of our dairy beef is no mistake. You can’t just grab any old dairy cow and get beautiful beef. It takes investment and excellent practices from the dairy, investment in learning what makes a dairy cow top quality beef, investment back into the cows when they’re done milking, and investment in learning from each carcass.

With the help of Marena (@breaking_brisket) who’s been a butcher for 12 years, I’ve been able to learn about many of my cows.

Being able to examine the carcasses whole helps me develop an eye for what to look for in live cows. This has been especially important when utilizing different breeds and different ages of cows.

This is one of the many challenges that has made the ex-dairy cow model unappealing to producers. Since I’m not engineering my cows to look a uniform way, I have to have a deep and thorough understanding of the cows to bridge customer expectation with product outcome.

The investment from all parties, from beginning to end, is showcased in the high quality of the beef we sell.
