Amid disturbing reports of tainted meat being sold for mass consumption, it's nice to know that the people at Damar Farms have succeeded at sustainably producing gourmet beef that couldn't be safer. The folks at Damar like to say, "The difference is in Mother Nature."
Established by the Hehli family in 1947, Dr. David Hehli & his wife Mary have raised various breeds & combinations of livestock, including Black Angus, Red Angus, Limousine, Murray Grey, and Simmental, to name a few. Over the years Damar Farms settled on Angus livestock, & specifically the Red Angus breed. The Angus breed produces excellent eating quality beef that is tender & well marbled. The herd is bred to produce the finest beef available.
Dr. Hehli & Farm Manager Tim Boortz have gone to great lengths researching & selecting just the right combination of genetics to produce a superior cut of beef in the most humane way possible. For example, they use calving ease bulls, which mean the calves have smaller birth weights, making it easier & less stressful on the cows.
This meat comes only from animals born & raised on Damar Farms in west central Wisconsin. We believe it’s the safest meat you can buy. The organic certification program is a fully verifiable production system that collects information on the history of every animal in the program, including its breed history, veterinary care, & feed.
No antibiotics, growth-promoting hormones, steroids or animal by-products are added to Damar’s organic forage or grain. This means they are never fed rendered animal by-products from slaughter-houses that could have been contaminated with BSE (Mad-Cow-Disease). (BSE is transmitted to cattle through feed containing animal by-products from contaminated animals.)
Damar Farms uses sustainable organic farming practices. These practices avoid petroleum-based fertilizers & chemicals, helping to limit America’s dependence on foreign oil. Organic farming is more time & labor intensive, creating more jobs in rural America. The people of Damar Farms believe this helps produce the finest beef as well as preserving the land for now & for future generations.
