Our Story

Rooted in the soil, raised with purpose

Elder's Dairy Beef began as a simple dream β€” to raise cattle the right way on the fertile farmland of northern Michigan. What started as a small herd has grown into a respected name, but our values have never changed.

Every animal that passes through our care receives attentive, hands-on management. We believe that great beef starts with great animals β€” and great animals deserve the best possible life. That means open pastures, clean water, and a calm, respectful approach to husbandry that you can taste in every cut.

From Our Ranch

Beef that speaks for itself

When you choose Elder's Dairy Beef, you're choosing meat from cattle that lived better β€” and it shows in every bite.

No Antibiotics

Our cattle are raised without routine antibiotics. Health comes first, but we never cut corners on welfare.

Grass-Finished

Where possible, our cattle graze on open pastures through their final months, developing rich flavor and lean muscle.

Locally Processed

We partner with Michigan-based processors who follow humane practices and maintain the highest food safety standards.

Family Portions

Whole, half, and quarter animals available β€” or custom cuts tailored to your family's needs and freezer space.

The Farm

A working farm, a family legacy

Nestled along 80th Avenue in Evart, our farm sits on some of the richest agricultural land in Oscoda County. Rolling pastures, sheltered woodlots, and clean spring water create the ideal environment for raising cattle the way nature intended.

This isn't just a business to us β€” it's a way of life. Every season brings new calves, new challenges, and new reasons to be grateful for the land that sustains us. We welcome visitors by appointment; there's nothing like seeing the herd for yourself.
