.....Consider natural beef from Manx Station Farm . Our Belted Galloway Cattle, and goats are raised on land free of pesticides and herbicides, and without steroids or hormones. Winter hay (and grain if any) is purchased from a local farmer specializing in providing natural feeds. Antibiotics are rarely used and only when vet-recommended for a specific need.

.....Belted Galloways are an extremely hardy rare breed developed in Scotland. Because of their double hair coat, they develop less of a fat layer, are lower in cholesterol and have beneficial levels of omega 6 acid when compared to other breeds. (See: http://www.beltie.org/beef3.html ).

.....Grass feeding further increases these health benefits.
(See: http://www.csuchico.edu/agr/grassfedbeef/ and http://www.mercola.com/beef/main.htm ).

.....The USDA Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) at Clay Center, Nebraska conducted extensive testing of multiple beef animal traits during the period of 1986 to 1990. The research revealed that: “the Galloway excelled in the beef quality trait areas of Flavor and Juiciness .…Galloway beef ranked first in taste.”
(See: http://www.beltie.org/beef3.html ).

.....The livestock on our farm enjoy fresh air and the hilly pastures from birth on our 192 acres in Washington County. They enthusiastically respond to our calls as we resupply their mineral mix, move them to fresh grass (or the apple orchard), or spread their daily hay in winter.

Manx Station Farm is committed to:
