Pasture-Raised Bulk Beef for Roanoke Valley & Smith Mountain Lake

For families across the Roanoke Valley, Salem, Botetourt County, Vinton, and Smith Mountain Lake, sourcing authentic, 100% pasture-raised grass-fed beef direct from a family farm is a great way to eat healthier while insulating your household against rising grocery store beef prices.

Raised on the rolling pastures of Lund Angus Farm in Spout Spring, our pure Black Angus cattle graze freely on Virginia forage under sustainable stewardship. We offer families throughout Southwest Virginia an easy way to buy bulk beef direct from the farm and pick it up fresh from the butcher in Gladys, VA.

Cattle Lifecycle: 24 Months on Pasture & Our Bi-Annual Schedule

Industrial commercial beef is rushed: calves are pushed into confinement feedlots at 6 to 8 months old and fed high-starch grain rations to fatten quickly. True grass-fed beef cannot be rushed.

At Lund Angus Farm, our cattle live on pasture for a full 24+ months, growing naturally on Virginia mother’s milk and seasonal forage grasses. This slow, natural development creates dense muscle structure, healthy natural fat, and rich beef flavor that feedlot cattle simply cannot match.

To align with nature’s grazing cycles, we operate on a permanent bi-annual pickup schedule:

• Spring Batch (May Pickup): Cattle finish on lush spring pasture flushes, perfect for filling the freezer ahead of summer grilling season.
• Fall Batch (Late-November / Early-December Pickup): Cattle graze through late summer and crisp autumn pastures. This extended fall grazing develops deep, robust flavor and wholesome marbling right as families stock up for the winter holidays and cold weather.

Every order is dry-aged for 14 days at USDA-inspected Schrock’s Processing in Gladys, VA, concentrating flavor and ensuring peak tenderness on your table.
