Here’s Swain Farm Fresh Beef, it’s safe to say Aggie had a moo-static time! 🐮🎉

This family farm established in 1892, is dedicated to maintaining happy and healthy cattle providing them with spacious outdoor housing to support fresh air intake, reduce dieases, and preserve a natural environment to allow moving, roaming, and other natural behaviours! 🙌🐂

These farmers work hard to keep our food supply strong and formulate well-balanced diets for cattle offering nutritious crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and other mixes of grain 🌾🌽

Did you know: Cattle’s outdoor housing environment helps keep them calm and comfortable?💡

Farmers like Swain Farm Fresh Beef work timelessly to ensure cattle receive the best possible care to provide communities with high-quality, responsible-raised beef ❤️🍽️
