Winter on the Farm

Winter presents some interesting challenges for us. The pasture is dead and frozen, water freezes regularly, and the short days mean we do the majority of our animal care in the dark. On the bright side, the cattle aren't bothered at all by the cold or the snow, and it does make for some great pictures! The shorter work day also means we get some time to catch up on some indoor work and make plans for next year. Right now, we are both enjoying reading books by Gene Logsdon, and looking forward to attending the CCE grass-fed beef conference in January.

Big Thanks to Our Helpers!

Thanks so much to Joe, Grace, and Matt for all their help with the new driveway! As you can see in the post below, the calves are really enjoying the view!

Good Pasture Management

In addition to rotating our cattle onto fresh grass every 3 days, we find that giving our free-range laying hens access to the grazing area reduces pests and improves the quality of the pasture. The cattle also act as a deterrent for predators...a real win/win for everyone!

New Additions

We are pleased to announce that we have expanded our herd to include Lowline Angus. These are great little cows that do remarkably well on pasture alone. We look forward to next years crop of hereford/angus crosses for some of the best tasting beef around!
