Fresh, never frozen Cordray Farms Beef cuts are in the meat case!

Hello, Friends!
We've restocked the meat case in our on-farm store here at Cordray Farms. We have plenty of steaks of all varieties, burger, roasts, and even some juicy soup bones!  All our beef is born and raised on our farm. They are pasture raised and never receive added hormones, antibiotics, medications or commercial feeds. We also have farm fresh eggs from our free range chickens.  We're open 9 am to 10 pm Monday - Saturday. If you're lucky, you might just see a big gator while you're here as we are in the middle of deer season and the last full weekend of alligator hunting season!
Hope to see you soon,
Claudia

Nice note from one of our alligator customers...


      Thanks for the gator stickers. I am very pleased with my gator head & tanned hide that I picked up over the summer. The meat was excellent, processing & packaging were all great. I hope to bring a few deer your way in Nov...I'll be hunting down your way. Look forward to seeing the updates on your website also.

thanks again,

Curiosity isn't good with alligators!

More facts from our friends: If alligators catch small animals, they tip their head back and swallow them without chewing.
They open their mouth to let spit evaporate and help them cool off.
Some birds help clean an alligator or crocodile's teeth.
They live to be about 60 years old.
The mommies carry the babies in their mouth or on top of their heads.
The mommies watch the babies for about 18 months.

A recent big fat alligator we got had a huge big belly. We couldn't stand it. We had to know what was inside that thing. Kenneth open the stomach and ran! Out poured some VERY smelly, VERY huge fish! We won't be doing that again!!!

Applewood Smoked Hams - fully cooked and delicious - in the case now!

Timothy Zayac and Rob Rowe brought in this 10.5 ft. alligator!

How do you tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?

Alligators are sometimes mistaken for logs.
They move fast to catch prey, but usually they are slow.
They tuck their legs to their bodies when they are swimming.
Alligators have a rounded nose and crocodiles have a sharp nose.
They eat their babies if the babies are dead.
They walk slow on ground.
Their nest is a big mound.

Brad Taylor of Taylor Outdoors got another big gator! 12.5 ft. and 416 lbs.

Kenneth will make this big fellow into an awesome rug!

Jayson Sellers got this buck in the morning!

Chris Kuntz had another good day!
