The Heart of Lakeshore Beef

Serving Our Community Since 1868

Welcome to Lakeshore Land & Livestock — our 6th-generation family farm along the shores of Lake Michigan. Since 1868, our family has worked this land and cared for cattle with the same guiding principles: faith, family, and farming.

The farm has evolved over time — once centered on dairy and crops, today focused on raising premium beef — but our values haven’t changed. What remains constant is our care for the animals, respect for the land, and our promise to deliver beef you’ll be proud to put on your family’s table.

Our Family, Your Food.

Behind every steak and burger is a family committed to raising beef you can trust.

At Lakeshore Beef, generations of our family have cared for the land, the cattle, and the community since 1868. Today, our kids are learning right alongside us — feeding cattle, checking animals, and even helping deliver beef.

When you choose Lakeshore Beef, you’re:

  • Supporting a family farm that puts faith, integrity, and animal care first.

  • Investing in the next generation learning how to raise food the right way.

  • Bringing home premium beef raised with care — so you can feel good about what’s on your table.

‍
Because to us, this isn’t just a business — it’s a way of life. Every order helps us keep that life going strong for your family and ours. 

What We Stand For

We believe your family deserves beef raised with care, transparency, and integrity.

Animal Care & Sustainability

Our cattle are raised as beef animals from the start — fed high-quality rations, cared for responsibly, and raised with respect for the land.

Exceptional Quality and Service

From a single steak to a whole animal, every cut is premium quality, dry-aged for flavor, priced honestly, and backed by our family’s promise.

Community & Education

We don’t just raise beef — we share our story, support our neighbors, and help families understand where their food comes from.

  • Trusted quality from a family farm that’s been here since 1868.
