Currently Accepting Orders for Pasture Raised Heritage Pork

---

Welcome to Shimp Ranch!

We are a small family farm nestled on 200 acres in the beautiful, rugged Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our goal is to provide our customers with the healthiest and highest quality, locally produced real Angus and Angus-cross beef. Our cattle spend their lives playing, grazing, and relaxing happily on our numerous pastures, in our woods, and barn lots. This means that our young calves can race down the hills of our pastures while their mothers eat fruit from the limbs of wild apple trees.

Our cattle are rotated twice daily through numerous grass pastures during the grazing season and fed hay and silage in the winter months. Although we strongly believe in pasturing our animals, free-access to barns on our farm provide our animals shade in the summer and protection from the elements in the winter.
