Sustainable Community

At Steel Mill Farms, all of our animals are sourced, after weaning, from local farmers we know and trust. These animals are then raised to maturity here on our farm. We believe that by doing this, we are helping our fellow community members by providing an endpoint for their cattle that would otherwise end up in a sale barn or auction.

Cooperative Farming

Additionally, this method of cooperative farming allows us to ensure that animals are raised with specific ethical and husbandry standards. Once on our farm, all animals have 24/7 free access to quality forage. Additionally, all animals are brought to market finish on quality grains. We consult with local professionals to improve our forages and ultimately the improve the health of our animals.

Healthy & Hormone Free

Our animals never receive hormone supplements and only receive antibiotics in the rare event of an illness. However, we will ensure that any animal treated will adhere to all recommended residue withdrawal periods. Each animal undergoes inspection in a local Texas state-inspected processing facility.

  • At Steel Mill Farms we offer pork, beef, poultry, and more. All the proteins are locally raised farm fresh and farm grass-fed. We offer individual cuts and large orders for schools and large businesses.
  • Steel Mill Farms is a distributor of beef and pork in the Farm Fresh Network. This program allows small farms to partner with schools to get healthier meat for the students.
  • We also provide FREE community education on the benefits and security of having a better connection with your local food producers and distributors, and partnerships with local churches for several events.

STEEL MILL FARMS

Steel Mill Farms started as a back porch conversation among lifelong friends. Our two families (Steelman and Miller), were born and raised in our small community of Bettie, Texas surrounded and influenced by unbelievable men and women. Whether it was circling a dinner table or leaning on a fence post, they helped cultivate our love of Jesus, Food and Freedom.

In our ever changing “fast-food world”, we strive to provide quality farm fresh products that can not only feed families, but also help bring those small family farm values to the dinner table (or fence post) for the next generation. Clay and Clint Steelman were born and raised in Bettie, Texas. In their professional careers, both Clay and Clint are in the first responder community. Clay has been a law enforcement officer since 2002 while Clint has been a fire fighter since 2006. Clay is married to his high school sweetheart Becca and have two children, Savannah and Jase. Clint is also married to his wife Heather and has three children, Colton, Nolan and Cayden.
