Welcome to our Blog!
This is the blog of Deep River Cattle Company and the Allen Smith Family. In it you will find updates on our farm production and doings, information and pictures of the farm and family. Our son Corey provides all the photography. It is our family's goal with this blog to use it to inform our customers and help them get to know us, and also help our friends we have in many different places to keep up with what we are up to. Because this is a family farm, you will also find comments on other things that are important to us, especially our faith as Christians.

OUR PRICES COMPARED TO GROCERY STORE

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I have often been asked how our prices compare to average grocery store prices for feedlot beef. Keep in mind we are comparing apples to oranges, as our pasture raised cattle take alot longer to finish naturally without growth hormones or steroids or crowded feedlots or grain.

Based on an article in Stockman Grass Farmer, a side of natural beef raised healthy on our pastures costs 25 to 35 percent less than if you bought a side of unhealthy beef produced for a grocery store chain.
