Rafter M Farm & Dairy

 

We raise a small, closed herd of Angus and Angus/Hereford-cross cattle.

Our breeding program is simple and intentional: one Angus bull and a handful of hardy crossbred cows that thrive in our northern climate.

 We are committed to regenerative agriculture. The cattle are rotationally grazed, moving to fresh pasture every few weeks so the grass can fully recover. This builds soil health, increases organic matter, sequesters carbon, and prevents overgrazing. Herd size is carefully matched to the size of our land—quality over quantity.

Our steers and heifers are pasture raised all summer and eat locally grown hay in the winter. They are finished with Alaska-grown barley, oats, and peas, and non-GMO alfalfa pellets. Our meat is clean and local, with no vaccinations, hormones or anitibiotics. 

 

Our milking cows follow their own separate rotational grazing plan on different pastures, so the two herds never compete for grass. Our dairy cows are fed Alaska Grown Barley, Black oil sunflower seeds, and Non-GMO Alfalfa pellets with Locally grown hay always available to them. NO Corn NO Soy!!

 

 We sell finished beef by the whole or half animal only.

• You reserve your beef with us

• We harvest at the optimal time and deliver the animal to a local butcher of your choice

• The carcass is weighed (hanging weight) — this is what you pay us per pound

• The butcher contacts you directly for your custom cut and wrap instructions

• You pick up your wrapped beef from the butcher and pay their processing fee separately

This direct, transparent system means you know exactly where your beef came from and how it was raised.
