At Bats Cave, we take pride in raising high-quality, healthy, and humanely cared-for beef cattle that reflects generations of wholesome farming tradition. Our approach is rooted in sustainable practices, attention to animal welfare, and a commitment to providing the best possible product for our customers. We are also a Beef Quality Assurance certified farm.
Our cattle spend their days grazing on lush, nutrient-rich pastures here in the rolling hills of Southeast Ohio.
Our cows and steers enjoy a free-range lifestyle with plenty of space to roam, fresh air, and clean water. This low-stress environment plays a vital role in producing high-quality beef with excellent flavor and tenderness.
Our cattle are primarily grass-fed and supplemented with a natural, grain-finished diet (cracked corn) in the final stages to achieve optimal marbling and flavor. [If you prefer an entirely grass-fed and grass-finished beef, we offer that option as well.]
We avoid the use of hormones, steroids, or unnecessary antibiotics, ensuring the beef you purchase is as natural and wholesome as possible.
Over the years, we’ve refined our herd by breeding over 80 well-mannered, healthy mother cows with pedigreed, certified Angus Beef bulls.
Sourcing our own cattle ensures we maintain full control over their health, genetics, and upbringing, providing consistent quality and peace of mind compared to the uncertainties of purchasing from various stock sales.
This focus on quality genetics ensures that every steer raised on our farm meets high standards for size, temperament, and overall health; ultimately yielding tender, flavorful beef.
We are committed to humane handling practices at every stage of the process. From birth to harvest, we treat our cattle with the respect and care they deserve. We believe that content, healthy cattle not only produce better beef but also honor the ethical responsibilities we have as stewards of the land and animals.
We understand that customers want to know where their food comes from. That’s why we maintain open communication about our farming methods, the quality of our livestock, and the care that goes into every step of the process.
By purchasing beef from us, you’re supporting a multi-generational family farm and contributing to the local agricultural economy. Our mission is to connect the community with the benefits of locally sourced, high-quality beef while maintaining the traditions of sustainable farming.
