According to Merlin Kaeb - Kaeb beef is produced without the use of antibiotics or hormones. The cattle are pastured and then transitioned gradually to corn stock, sileage, and oats as well as hay and a protein supplement free of animal by-products. The cows are finished in feed lots and then sold in whole, quarters, or halves from July to October. If you would like more information, please contact Merlin Kaeb.
