FAQ

What is Natural Beef anyway?

At Bayview farm our natural beef come from animals that are born and raised on our farm and are never, fed animal by-products of any kind. No antibiotics in the feed and no hormone implants are given to our cattle. Natural beef means no artificial ingredients or preservatives.

Why do you age your beef?

We naturally dry age our beef for a minimum of 21 days to intensify the flavor and naturally increase the tenderness. Many beef suppliers cut and package the beef without aging the meat. At Bayview Farm, we consider aging the meat a vital step, and we take this extra step to produce and process our beef the old-fashion way.

Is you beef grass fed, or is it grain fed?

It is both! At Bayview Farm the cattle are on grass during the months of spring through fall. Then the larger calves are weaned from their mothers and are fed separately in the barn on a ration of hay, grass silage, corn silage and barley.

Can you tell me about freezers? How much meat will fit into my freezer?

One cubic foot of freezer space will hold approximately 22 to 28 pounds of beef. This is about half of the freezer above the refrigerator. A quarter beef requires a five cubic foot freezer, and a half will need an 8 cubic foot freezer.
