Blue Rooster Farm is a family owned and operated beef and sheep farm located in the Ridge and Valley region of South Central Pennsylvania. Our sheep and beef rotationally graze on approximately 50 acres of pasture. During the winter they are fed grass and alfalpha hay purchased from neighboring farms. Our beef and lamb are 100% grassfed. We do not fatten on corn or other grains, rather we aim to have our beef finish on grass in about 18 - 20 months. We do not use sythentic growth hormones and uncessesary antibiotics. In order to grow our beef quickly on grass and hay, we select for small-framed Black Angus cows and bulls. Our sheep are predominately North Country Cheviot - a hardy, flighty, stocky breed who give our Border Collie, Mac, a run for the money.
