Summary
Hey! my name is Kirstyn “Buzz” Busby and I have been a cattle farmer for going on five years now! My job is to raise my livestock to grass or grain fed depending on what my customers wants until they are to age. Whenever the steer or heifer is to age my job is to transfer her to a processing plant to be butchered. When the animal is butchered and ready to go to my customer, I will gather the meat and deliver it right to the customers home!!
