Happy Cattle, Happy Customers

“I could tell the difference in your beef on the first bite!” That’s the type of testimonial we hear on a regular basis.

Our commitment to raising healthy cattle through rotational grazing means you get the best beef available!

The best steak I've ever had! I love knowing the cattle are grass fed, and are raised out in a pasture enjoying life, instead of a muddy cow feed lot. The McLaughlins take a lot of pride in their beef, and it shows, and you can taste the difference. THE BEST burgers. Try them and see if you don't agree!
We have bought 4 bundles of meat and some sausage from them, great to have a local source of grass fed beef. Nice family with great care for the land and animals. Definitely recommend them! We purchased a 1/4 cow. It is our first serious grass fed purchase and we couldn't be happier. The kids love the taste of the meat (they used to not like beef very much) and I am at peace knowing my family is healthier!

McLaughlin Farm: Local Producer of Highland Beef

McLaughlin Farm LtdMcLaughlin Farm Ltd. raises Highland Cattle and is a local producer of naturally raised, grass fed, dry aged beef. The farm is located in Jackson, Michigan. The farm was originally a working dairy farm, and was purchased by John’s grandparents in 1932. The milking operation continued until the mid-1950’s when it was discontinued.

A decade later several of the unused facilities were torn down, including the milk barn, due to the high cost of maintenance. In 1980 John and Cathie bought the farm and shortly thereafter reintroduced farm animals, including beef cattle, horses, sheep, chickens and turkeys. Today Highland cattle and two Katahdin “hair sheep” and a Standard Schnauzer are the only domestic animals at the farm.

McLaughlin Farm cattle are humanely raised and processed. They are  grass fed and pasture raised, grazing in open pastures and are not confined in a feed lot type setting. The farm’s cattle are rotationally grazed, and are fed no grain, within the USDA “grass-fed” standard. McLaughlin Farm does not utilize growth stimulants or hormones, nor antibiotics, unless medically indicated.
