Grass-fed beef raised the way nature intended.
At Sebago Lake Ranch, our cows are fed an all-grass diet: pasture during the grazing season, hay in the winter, and supplemented with free-choice minerals. Their feed does not contain hormones or antibiotics.
About Us
We believe healthy animals, healthy soil, and healthy food all go together. Our cattle spend their days outdoors, grazing pasture and living in a way that supports both animal welfare and the land.

Health Benefits
For a deeper look at the health benefits of grass-fed beef, visit Eatwild’s overview. In summary, an all-grass diet tends to produce healthier fat with more omega-3s, less omega-6, higher CLA, and higher beta carotene. That higher beta carotene is one reason the fat can appear a little more yellow, especially on older animals.
Healthier fat profile
Grass-fed beef is widely valued for a more favorable fat profile than conventional grain-fed beef.
More omega-3s, less omega-6
Grass-fed products are known for having more omega-3 fatty acids and a lower omega-6 to omega-3 balance.
Higher CLA
Grass-fed beef is also known for higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid, often referred to as CLA.
Higher beta carotene
That natural beta carotene can give the fat a slightly more yellow color, especially in older animals.
How Ordering Works
Most sales are by quarter, half, and whole animals that go to slaughter from June through August. We also often have individual cuts available.
To order, customers review the current price list, email what they want, and we pick the order, send an invoice, and arrange a pickup time. Orders are by appointment only, with a $100 minimum.
Our Cattle
Our herd is raised on pasture in Gorham, Maine. They spend their days grazing and moving through pasture rather than being confined or grain-finished.
That pasture-based life is central to the quality of the beef and the character of the farm. For more current farm updates and photos, please follow us on Facebook.
