Our beef is born and raised in Three Rivers, California. The cattle spend about a year and a half on hillside pasture, grazing on grass and receiving alfalfa during the dry seasons. Once they reach approximately 900 pounds, they’re brought to Exeter for a 90-day finishing period, where they are fed a custom blend of grains, corn, almond hulls, molasses, alfalfa, oat hay, and other ingredients to enhance marbling and overall quality.
We sell our beef by the whole animal or by the side. If you’re interested in a smaller amount, we recommend partnering with a friend or family member, as it’s easiest for small groups to divide the cuts among themselves.
We charge $8 per pound based on the hanging weight—the weight after the organs, blood, and hide are removed. The Meat Locker will also charge a separate fee for cutting and wrapping. Exeter Meat’s current rate is about $1.40 per pound, though we’re happy to work with any Meat Locker you prefer—just let us know in advance. There is a flat kill fee for the mobile butcher who harvests the animal onsite, typically ranging from $60 to $80 per side.
A typical side of beef weighs between 300 and 400 pounds, though this can vary. Your order will be custom cut and wrapped to your specifications, including steak thickness, ground beef package size, preferred roast cuts, and more.
We currently have animals scheduled for processing in December. If you’d like to reserve one, please feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help you secure your spot.
Thank you,
Jennifer Barba

Meet our sr herd sire

🧨 Wingwood Farm Cool TNT: 🧨

Wingwood Farm Cool TNT stands as a striking example of Nubian excellence, combining impeccable confirmation with robust dairy strength. In the barn and on paper, TNT demonstrates the structural correctness and balance that make him a standout among herd sires. His strong topline, well‑laid shoulders, and well‑constructed feet and legs provide the foundation for longevity and soundness—while his depth, capacity, and width attest to his ability to transmit real milk‑making potential.
What truly underscores his value is the promise already showing through in his progeny. His daughters are entering the show ring with poise and presence, earning attention for their composure, breed character, and structural quality. These early signs inspire confidence as we look ahead to 2026 and the freshenings to come. We are excited to watch how they mature into milkers—and how TNT’s influence may elevate them in both production and udder quality.

For breeders interested in accessing his genetics, semen from Wingwood Farm Cool TNT is available through Blue Mountain Genetics. You can view their Nubian inventory and place orders via their page: Blue Mountain Genetics on Facebook (or via their website and order form).

⭐️ Doe spotlight ⭐️

We are proud to feature one of our standout Nubian does, a remarkable example of the breed’s finest qualities. This doe exemplifies consistency, reliability, and refined femininity, making her a cornerstone of our herd.
Season after season, she freshens with ease and grace, consistently presenting with a well-attached, capacious udder and excellent teat placement. Her strong, level topline, wide escutcheon, and clean dairy character make her a standout in both the barn and the show ring.
Beyond her physical excellence, what sets this doe apart is her unwavering performance. This kind of dependability is rare and highly valued, especially in breeding programs focused on long-term improvement.
Her daughters are already proving to carry her strengths forward, showing promise with the same smooth dairyness. As a foundational doe, she continues to elevate our herd with her superior genetics and unmatched consistency.
