For over four decades, Elder's Dairy Beef has been proud to raise premium cattle across the rolling hills of northern Michigan β with integrity, stewardship, and a deep respect for the land.
Raising cattle on the same land across four decades of Michigan farming tradition.
From our pastures to your table β every head of cattle raised right here in northern Michigan.
Humane handling, natural grazing, and responsible stewardship β always.
Trusted by families and ranchers across the region for generations.
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.
We specialize in high-quality beef cattle bred for temperament, health, and marbling β because the best meat comes from animals that live well.
Known for exceptional marbling and tender, flavorful meat. Our Angus herd is the cornerstone of Elder's Dairy Beef.
A unique blend of dairy and beef genetics, producing lean, well-marbled cattle that thrive in our climate and pastures.
Healthy, well-socialized feeder calves available for private sale. Each one raised with individual attention from birth.
When you choose Elder's Dairy Beef, you're choosing meat from cattle that lived better β and it shows in every bite.
Our cattle are raised without routine antibiotics. Health comes first, but we never cut corners on welfare.
Where possible, our cattle graze on open pastures through their final months, developing rich flavor and lean muscle.
We partner with Michigan-based processors who follow humane practices and maintain the highest food safety standards.
Whole, half, and quarter animals available β or custom cuts tailored to your family's needs and freezer space.
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.
