4 Arrows Ranch, near Ocala, Florida, raises grassfed, clover-finished Angus and Braunveih cattle on organically kept pastures. Cattle are the old fashioned, heavy bodied, short, cattle that are linebred for performance on grass. The use of planted forage sequences affords us year-round beef production.

Beef is dry aged for 21 to 28 days to enhance its inherent flavor and tenderness. An ample fat layer protects the meat during aging and also provides excellent marbling throughout the beef. This is not your characteristic grassfed lean beef. 4 Arrows beef is restaurant quality on grass.

A limited amount of pastured pork is offered first come, first serve. Beef and pork are sold by the whole, half, or quarter. See www.thegrassfedgourmet.com for current prices. Shipping is available through the processor. Ranch products may be reserved and purchased via phone or e-mail.

Deep Creek Ranch offers seasonal citrus, Angus and South Poll grass fed and finished beef as well as grass fed and finished lamb and mutton.

Herd nutrition and health is a primary management concern. All our sale livestock is harvested from our ranch and we keep records of the life history of every animal on our ranch. We treat the animals humanely and, whenever feasible, use organic methods in caring for our animals. We use a  private processor for our family's harvest, and for yours.

We sell by the whole beef, or side or split side. Lambs and mutton are whole. If you want to partner with other families, we can work with you. Our angus beef has marbling and would grade US Choice if USDA graded. Our South Poll beef is leaner, and the animals are smaller, but these animals are bred for tenderness without fat. We enjoy both at home, depending on our mood!  If you haven't enjoyed grass fed lamb, it will be a high point in your food life.  

When ordering, be sure to let us know if you want some for immediate use, the rest frozen. We do not ship, but will help with delivery within 100 miles of DeLand, Florida. Delivery beyond the DeLand area requires a minimum order of $3,000 of our products.

We sell tangerines, tangelos, grapefruit and oranges grown by organic methods. They are available December until March, by the quarter, half and full box and we will ship.  

Please call for prices and more information on our products, thank you.

Our pastures are fertilized and kept pest-free strictly by organic methods.

Pure, raw, organically produced honey is available most of the summer. We also offer pure maple syrup that comes from a family farm in New Hampshire that uses no formaldehyde in their production. There are limited amounts of grassfed lamb available and we are increasing the flock for greater availability.

Lee Sly. I'm a cowboy. I have made my living working other peoples' cattle. Occasionally, I would be given dogie calves and my children would raise them on a bottle. We brought a broke leg heifer calf home that had been stepped on in the pens and the Lord said, "Don't sell her, keep her." The Lord has multiplied her into 250 head of cattle over the last 22 years.

Contrary to what I've been taught all my life, grass finished beef is the answer. I believe that Florida can produce the best beef because of our year-round ability to grow grass. I use no antibiotics, chemicals, wormers, fertilizers, or fly control. These cattle are raised on the best grasses that Florida can grow all naturally.

We're now taking orders for late fall and early winter for acorn-finished pork and will have a continuous supply of wild tilapia fish.

We are also offering for sale our genetics naturally raised on south Florida grasses with no hormones or antibiotics. The last group we finished were ultrasounded before slaughter. Ffinished totally on grass, they reached the perfect target for grainfed beef in two years. We have heifers and bull calves of all sizes and in any quantity. Hauling is available.

I would be glad to talk to anyone at length and answer any questions you may have. If you are interested in purchasing beef, contact my daughter, Jessica Nehrboss at (941) 745-5630 or sales@amazingrazinbeef.com.
