Steel Mill Farms started as a back porch conversation among lifelong friends. Our two families (Steelman and Miller), were born and raised in our small community of Bettie, Texas surrounded and influenced by unbelievable men and women. Whether it was circling a dinner table or leaning on a fence post, they helped cultivate our love of Jesus, Food and Freedom.
In our ever changing “fast-food world”, we strive to provide quality farm fresh products that can not only feed families, but also help bring those small family farm values to the dinner table (or fence post) for the next generation.

Our Practices
-
At Steel Mill Farms, all of our animals are sourced, after weaning, from local farmers we know and trust. These animals are then raised to maturity here on our farm. We believe that by doing this, we are helping our fellow community members by providing an endpoint for their cattle that would otherwise end up in a sale barn or auction.
-
Additionally, this method of cooperative farming allows us to ensure that animals are raised with specific ethical and husbandry standards. Once on our farm, all animals have 24/7 free access to quality forage. Additionally, all animals are brought to market finish on quality grains. We consult with local professionals to improve our forages and ultimately improve the health of our animals.
-
Our animals never receive hormone supplements and only receive antibiotics in the rare event of an illness. However, we will ensure that any animal treated will adhere to all recommended residue withdrawal periods. Each animal undergoes inspection in a local Texas state inspected processing facility.
"We believe that God has entrusted us to be good stewards of our land and animals, and we hope that this is reflected in the quality of the product that we bring to your table."
