Premium, Family-Raised Beef. From Our Pasture to Your Table.
Ethical handling. Clean feed. Calm cattle. Raised with care in Cooksville, Maryland.
Welcome to Balas Family Farms
We’re a small, family-run cattle operation raising high-quality beef through hands-on care, responsible feeding, and calm, low-stress handling.
Our cattle spend their days on pasture, receive balanced grain during finishing, and are moved with patience — never pressure.
We believe good beef starts with good stewardship. From our family to yours, we’re committed to providing beef you can trust, raised the right way.
Our Cattle. Our Care. Our Commitment.
