Where it All Begins
Born and Raised on Our Family Farm
All of our cattle are born and raised right here on our farm in Stockton, Illinois. They start their lives the way nature intended — on open pastures, roaming green hills and grazing freely on fresh grass.
From day one, we’re there with them. No shortcuts, no outsourcing. Just honest, hands-on farming rooted in our Nadig family’s tradition since 1870. Our cattle roam freely and grow up healthy and strong.
This is more than just farming — it’s a promise we’ve kept for generations.
Raised on Grass, Finished with Care
Grass Beginnings, Grain Finished
Our cattle grow up on a grass-based diet, just like they would in the wild.
As they mature, we slowly introduce grain into their feed to help them finish strong and naturally develop the marbling that makes beef tender and full of flavor.
It’s a careful balance that brings out the best in the meat without compromising how the animal was raised.
Hands-on, everyday
We Care for Them Ourselves
We care for our herd personally, every step of the way. That means walking the pastures, checking on the animals, and making sure they’re healthy, well-fed, and comfortable.
By staying close and hands-on, we make sure each member of our herd enjoys the best possible life here at Nadig Farms.
We believe that happy, healthy cattle not only thrive but also create a positive difference, in tune with the natural rhythms of the land.
health Comes First
Keeping Them Healthy
At Nadig Farms, we believe healthy cattle lead to better lives for them and better beef for you. That’s why we focus on proactive care and routine checkups.
When needed, we use antibiotics responsibly — for things like pneumonia or other common illnesses. We also vaccinate to protect against clostridial infections, Bovine Viral Diarrhea, cattle flu, and other health risks.
As proud Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) Certified farmers, we’re committed to meeting the highest standards of animal care and management.
A Tradition worth Keeping
A Way of Life
Raising cattle this way takes time, hard work, and care — but it’s absolutely worth it. It’s the same hands-on approach our family has followed for generations.
We’re proud of the work we do and the legacy we carry. Every day, we honor that tradition that raising cattle the right way we believe in tune with nature and sharing our farm story with you.
