Frequently Asked Questions
Is your beef grass-fed?
Calves at Davis Double D Farms are raised as nursing calves as well as grass and creep feed. Creep feed is supplemental feed (grain or forage) that is given to supply the calf with all of the nutrients it needs to maximize growth. A lactating beef cow can supply only 50 percent of the nutrients a three- to four-month-old calf needs, and forage availability and quality depends on factors such as summer drought conditions or winter when grazing is not available. The supplemental feeding ensures the calf grow as expected.
Where do you get your beef?
The family farm outside El Dorado, Arkansas, is where all of our beef is born, bred and raised. We know everything about the animals we raise including bloodlines, health history and temperament.
Who butchers your beef?

Do you deliver?

Are there any additives to your beef?
No. You are getting a 100% natural product, unlike store-bought beef uses additives to keep meat red in appearance.
Do you give your cattle growth hormones?
No. We never use growth hormones, which actually causes tougher meat in a final product.
Do you use antibiotics?
If an animal becomes sick, we do treat the animal. Antibiotics are given only if necessary for the health and recovery of the animal.
