Protocols

Antibiotics are not used on animals that will be finished and sold for beef. Antibiotics are only used at B&B Farms to save the lives of brood cows, replacement heifers or bulls when necessary. We do not use antibiotics routinely. We guarantee there will never be trace antibiotics in any beef or lamb products.

Hormones or replacement hormones are never used at B&B Farms. We guarantee there will never be trace hormones in any beef or lamb products.

No grain is fed at B&B Farms. All animals graze on pasture during the growing season and are fed dry hay and balage during the winter months in paddocks of 10 acres or more. We work to extend our grazing season by no-till planting annuals on portions of our pasture so that the cows and sheep are out grazing for as long as we can manage in Northern Michigan.

We don't feed grain, and we don't plant, graze, or harvest GMO grasses or forbes (if that even exists). We guarantee no GMO's are used at B&B Farms.

Animals are never confined. During the growing season animals are out grazing. During the winter months animals are kept in paddocks of no fewer then 10 acres. They have access to shelter with areas out of the wind when they choose to use it. But they can and do roam on dirt (and snow).
