About Miller Creek Farm
Black Angus raised on grass from birth to butcher, on the Bourbon County ground our family has farmed since 1962.
Farming since1962
Pasture160 acres
Herd42 Angus
Dry aged14 days
Our grandfather bought this ground in 1962 to raise feeder calves. Three generations later we still raise Black Angus here, but in 2015 we stopped sending calves to the sale barn and started selling beef straight to families.
Selling by the share lets us raise cattle the slow way. They stay on grass their whole lives, move to a fresh paddock every few days, and go to the butcher when they are ready, not when the market says so.
Most of our beef goes to the same families every year. If you have never bought a share before, call us. We will walk you through the cut sheet and tell you exactly what to expect.

100% grass-fed and finished
Grass and hay their whole lives. No grain at the end, which is when most "grass-fed" beef gets switched over.
In plain words · Grass-fed vs grass-finished"Grass-finished" means the animal ate grass its whole life. "Grass-fed, grain-finished" means grass most of its life and grain at the end.

- 20–25 lb steaks

What buyers say
Sample reviews for the preview“We split a steer with two neighbors. The cut sheet call took ten minutes and these are the best ribeyes we have had.”
“Picked up at the butcher, every package labeled and vacuum sealed. The freezer is full until spring.”
“Third year buying a half from the Millers. The ground beef alone is worth it.”
Questions
Am I buying meat or part of an animal?
A share of a live steer. Bluegrass Custom Meats processes it for you and the other owners, so the meat is for your family, not for resale. That is how custom butchering works.
Is a quarter the front or the back?
Our quarters are split halves, so you get some of every cut, not just the front or the back.
When do I pay?
A deposit to hold your piece (deposit refundable until 30 days before butcher day). The rest after the butcher weighs the animal, and Bluegrass Custom Meats's own bill when you pick up.
What is hanging weight?
What the animal weighs at the butcher after the head, hide and insides are removed. Prices are usually per pound of hanging weight.
How much freezer space do I need?
About 1 cubic foot for every 35 to 40 lb of meat. A quarter beef needs about 3 to 4 cubic feet, a half about 6 to 8 and a whole about 12 to 16.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Thursdays, within 60 mi of the farm.
