About Kidder Cattle Company
Our Family
Welcome! We are the family that run Kidder Cattle Company, Logan, Kari, Lane and McCoy. We are a small beef farm in Collins, NY that is very passionate about getting healthy food that you can trust to your table. As beef producers we are also BQA (Beef Quality Assurance) certified. Logan and I bought our first couple cows when were just dating. Yup, that's right! While I was in college studying dairy science at Morrisville State, Logan was home working on a dairy farm and taking care of our herd. Fast forward to graduation and marriage, we bought an old farm to fix up, grow our beef herd and raise our babies on. Now we can finally say that we have retail beef available for you!
Our Farm
Our farm started out as a beautiful dairy farm in the 1940's. Throughout the years of it being passed to different owners, the farm sold out and was neglected. Driving past this farm as a child, I would pray that if I ever got the chance to, I (and my future family) would return it to its glory. Fast forward to an adult I was approached out of the blue about buying it and we did not hesitate! Turns out God heard my prayers. We recently had the pleasure of meeting the family that first started this farm. They were so happy to see us breathing life back into it and filling the barn back up with cows. Currently we are working on renovating the barns, future plans of a farm store and watching our babies run around in muddy boots and fall in love with agriculture the same way we did.
Our Cows
Our Cows are grass finished, meaning they never have any grain in their lifetime. They are on pasture in the summer and in the winter they are fed baleage and dry hay. Baleage is grass that is baled around 50-60% moisture and then wrapped in plastic so the bales can ferment. This makes a high quality, nutritional forage for them throughout the winter that is easily digestible. They are also fed free choice minerals that they consume at their leisure all year round. Did you know that New York is selenium deficient in their soil? So, it is very important to us that we fill any gaps in our cattle's nutrition with balanced minerals to keep well maintained herd health.
