Chapel Creek Farms

Welcome to Our Herd Health Program

Consumers today are asking the right questions—and we're proud to have the answers. At Chapel Creek Farms, we take the responsibility of raising healthy, safe beef seriously. As both consumers and producers, our top priority is providing safe, flavorful beef that we're proud to serve our own family—and yours. We believe informed customers are empowered customers. That's why we're happy to explain exactly how we care for our cattle and why our beef can be enjoyed with confidence.

A Clear Answer About mRNA Vaccines

There’s a lot of confusion and concern around mRNA vaccines in livestock today. Here’s the truth:

  • We do not use mRNA vaccines.
  • They are not available for use in cattle.
  • Even if they were, we have no intention of using them.

We understand how media chatter can cause fear and confusion. As farmers, it frustrates us, too. You can trust that Chapel Creek Farms continues to raise our herd with traditional care and proven practices.

How We Keep Our Herd Healthy

Our cows are raised thoughtfully, ethically, and with their well-being in mind every single day. Healthy animals are the foundation of healthy beef, and we use preventive care to ensure their comfort and safety.

Vaccines

Our herd receives vaccines only when needed—comparable to how children receive vaccinations for illnesses like measles or polio. Young animals receive a “7-way vaccine” to protect against diseases such as Blackleg, a soil-borne illness grazing animals are susceptible to.

Antibiotics

We only use antibiotics when medically necessary and always under veterinary guidance. Our philosophy is simple: treat cattle with the same careful consideration we would give our own family.

Veterinary Oversight

We maintain a strong, active relationship with our veterinarian and follow all state agricultural regulations. If any practices were out of line, we would face formal penalties—we are proud to be in good standing.

USDA Inspected Beef

All our beef, including that offered through the Chapel Creek Farms Beef Share Program, is USDA-inspected. This means you can buy with complete confidence in its safety and quality.

Ethical Stewardship from Start to Finish

Caring for our cattle means more than occasional treatments. It’s a daily commitment:

🌿 Lush pasture grasses

🌿 Fresh, clean water

🌿 Ample space for roaming

🌿 Stress-free environments

🌿 Ethical treatment every step of the way

Our cows live healthy, content lives—it’s part of why our beef is so flavorful and nutritious.
