About Rocky Ridge Livestock

Rocky Ridge Livestock is a 5th generation family-farm in Western Maine, dedicated to caring for the land, livestock and our community. 

 

Our farm sits on a beautiful mountainside where we raise cattle, pigs and chickens. For many years, our family took pride in raising organic dairy products, but today, we specialize in raising grass-based beef. Our cattle rotationally graze and are fed grass harvested from our farm all year long. We have always taken great care to manage our land with organic practices.

 

Our beef is finished with limited amounts of grain and continuous free choice grass silage for the final 4 to 5 months of thier life. They receive less than 25% of their diet as grain, but we are able to achieve excellent marbling that provides our customers with an excellent eating experience every time. Our beef is also dry aged for 2 weeks, making for a premium product!

 

In addition to beef, we also raise and sell pigs and chicken. 

 

We're proud to share our locally-raised products with you!

Why buy Local Beef?

Local beef has many benefits! One of the benefits of the local beef for sale here is that most of it is dry aged.

"One of the advantages of buying local meats is that small processors dry age the beef on site for 10 days to 14 days. This allows the enzymes in the meat to break down the connective tissue resulting in more tender and flavorful beef. Dry aged meats also contain less water so you aren't paying for added water when purchasing from a local farmer making it a better investment." - Ty Gustafson - Owner/Operator of Story City Locker.

Interesting Fact: Why is cow meat called beef?

Long story short, it's because of the French invasion of Britain in 1066.

To go into a bit more detail, here's the history:

The Anglo-Saxons (British in the 11th century) spoke Old English, a language with Germanic roots. This language used the word "cu" to describe cattle.

When the French-speaking Normans invaded and conquered Britain, they continued to speak French and using the French term "boeuf" instead of "cu."

As time went-on, the fancier French term became "beef" and was used to describe meat from cattle.

Spoiler Alert: The "cow meat" you're looking for isn't from cows.

Technically, the beef at ChopLocal isn't actually cow meat.

Cows are female cattle who have given birth to a calf (baby bovine.) And beef from cows is not the highest quality. It is generally less tender and less flavorful, but makes great ground beef, hamburger and things like that.

The best beef comes from steers - younger, full-grown male cattle. This beef is tender, flavorful, and makes delicious steak and other high-end cuts.
