According to Pat Snyder - Snyder's Valley View Farm is a small family owned and operated farm that raises Belted Galloway beef and Katahdin sheep. All of the animals are raised on pasture during the growing season, and on hay that we grow ourselves during the winter months. Our calves and lambs are born on pasture in the spring and are raised on their mother's milk until they are able to graze our pasture grasses, legumes and forbs. We use no herbicides or pesticides on our pastures or hayfields, and practice rotational grazing, which allows the animals to utilize their natural instincts to migrate and look for the best food supply. Our animals receive no growth hormones, no antibiotics in their feed, and a very minimal amount of grain which is used only for training purposes. Both Belted Galloway Cattle and Katahdin Sheep are known for their ability to produce lean, tender, flavorful meat when raised in a grass based farming system, producing meats that not only taste very good, but are good for your health as well. We sell freezer beef by the quarter and half; it is available at various times throughout the year. Lamb is sold by the half or whole from December through April. Our meats are processed by a local state inspected, family run facility, and can be cut and wrapped to your specifications.
