What’s So Special About Grass-Fed Beef
While most cattle start out on grass, the vast majority finish on corn and grain rations in feedlots where the beef loses its grass-fed flavor. Miller Farms combines the right kinds of cattle with abundant rich pastures to produce flavorful grass-fed beef without sacrificing tenderness.
With Grass-fed animals, the nutritional value of their meat is significantly different from commodity beef you buy in a store.
* Higher in beta carotene and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) "which may have potent cancer fighting properties".
* Higher (up to four times) in omega-3 (reduces incidence of coronary and lifestyle-related diseases).
* Half the saturated fat and 2-5 times more omega-3 fatty acids.
* Lower in LDL, the “bad” cholesterol.
.* Less omega-6 fatty acids, which are a type of bad fat.
Our livestock are never given hormones or antibiotics, and are never fed any animal by-products. "They eat what nature intended them to eat."
Beef Available in Halves and Quarters
Our premium grass fed beef is only available in quarters ( 160- 200 lbs) and halves of beef (280-400 lbs hanging weight) at an age of 17 to 20 months. The customer pays for the slaughter fee and the cutting and wrapping (about 60 cents per pound). Our price is also 30% less than other advertized Natural Beef Products.
Because pasture growth is seasonal, grass-fed beef is a seasonal product. Our beef is available from July to Nov. We only harvest when the animals are in peak condition with the goal being “every bite, a good dining experience”.

Humanly Raised and Harvested
Miller Farms beef cattle are born and bred on the family farm in the Siletz Valley. The combination of Hereford and Angus genetics, the healthy variety of clover and grasses the cattle graze and the gentle way they’re raised make the difference. Miller Farm cattle are managed under the Oregon Beef Quality Assurance program. Our premium grass fed beef is 18 to 21 months of age when harvested.
Grown Naturally
The USDA defines "natural" as being minimally processed with no additives. We take it a few steps further:
* We raise our beef without hormones or antibiotics.
* We fatten our cattle on what nature intended them to eat, they are never fed any animal byproducts and other additives.
* We don't irradiate our beef- healthy cattle and clean environments don't need it.
