Our Devon and Angus cattle create a symbiotic relationship with the land.  Their remarkable ability to convert green grass to meat, fat and milk, to calve on their own and their resistance to  disease, predators, drought, rains, cold  & heat make them an animal to be admired.  Our first cattle arrived in the Fall of 2014 and were turned out on to fields that had been used as  hay fields for more than 20 years.  There were many undesirable weeds and the soil quality was poor. In a short time, the undesirable plants disappeared and the multitude of different warm and cold season grasses started thriving along with the soil.  By not using salt based chemical fertilizers there are now a multitude of healthy organisms including dung beetles, which help break down the cow patties into fertilizer for the pastures. 

The cattle are rotated daily throughout the year, including in the winter.  They continue to eat grass thought out the winter in the form of hay and fermented hay.  They are supplied with minerals and Redmond salts to balance their nutrition.  
They birth their calves in the spring and do a great job of raising their calves.  Unlike most farms, we do not wean the calves from their mothers in the fall.  We allow the moms to take their calves through the winter and believe that everyone is healthier for it.  Our cattle always have access to shade either from trees or from moveable shade devices.
 We take pride in how we care and raise our animals. They really do have a good life!
