About Us
Marble Creek Farms
We obsess over our animals and the product that we provide to our clients. We take deliberate, carefully-calculated steps from the time an animal arrives on our property until it reaches your plate. We take our job of feeding Americans very serious, and we enjoy it every step of the way.
Our promise to you is this:
- Every animal is treated with the same level of respect that we would expect from one another. They life in paradise (seriously, come out to the farm sometime), and we pride ourselves on giving them a wonderful, stress-free lifestyle.
- We raise our animals on premium grasses that are high in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. We grass-finish most of our beef, however we do offer grain-finishing options to clients who prefer it. Cattle, nature, and grasses have a symbiotic relationship and we do everything to encourage that, not disrupt it.
- We breed for the best. We pride ourselves on calm, very docile animals (low stress), with great reproductive traits (great overall health). We raise animals with excellent mothering abilities, low birth-weights, excellent gaining potential, and high marbling genetic potential.
- We do not add any hormones, implants, or antibiotics to our animals. We raise them like how they evolved for centuries before us - roaming the plains, grazing on a variety of grasses, with all of their friends.
Our Cattle
It's no secret that Angus cattle produce some of the best tasting, and highest quality of beef in the world. What may be a secret though, is what the Gelbvieh breed brings to the high-end cattle market, and how they can be the perfect compliment to an Angus cattle herd. Gelbvieh cattle are maternal Queens and have some incredible maternal traits. They raise a great calf and our genetics are built to thrive on a forage only diet.
At Marble Creek Farms, we specialize in the Angus/Gelbvieh breed and the F1 Balancer cross progeny. Whether it's beef for your family, starting your own cattle farm, or accelerating the genetic make-up of your herd, we have you covered.
Our Laying Hens
We have a flock of laying hens that consist of a variety of breeds that excel on pasture and lay hundreds of eggs each year. By allowing our hens to be out on pasture for 8-12 hours each day, it gives them the opportunity to not only supplement their feed, but also gives them the opportunity to find nutrition in an all-natural environment. Their egg yolks are a bright, vibrant orange color and the flavor is drastically different than what you'd find on grocery store shelves.
By rotating the hens on pasture, 3-5 days behind the cattle, they also take care of fertilizing the pastures so the microbes in the soil have a chance to get to work and bring out the best of all our local grasses.
