Why pasture?

With most cows and sheep being finished on corn in feedlots, we choose to raise and finish on pasture for several important reasons:

Flavor.

Each plant contributes depth of flavor to the meat. Our diverse, high quality pastures result in tender, flavorful cuts perfect for a delicious wholesome family meal or a barbeque with friends and family.

Healthier for you.

Our creator specially designed cows and sheep (ruminants) to thrive on grasses and other plants. When allowed to eat their natural diet, the meat that results has a heart-healthy balance of Omega-6:Omega-3 fatty acids, in addition to being high in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (which may prevent cancer) and higher in many vitamins and minerals.  Even a small amount of grain at the end can negate many of these benefits, so we take pride in finishing our animals on 100% pasture.

Beautiful, functioning landscape.

Our tall, rotationally grazed pastures provide homes for many prairie songbirds, pheasants, small mammals, butterflies, wild bees and others. We love being able to raise food while providing homes and food for so many other wild species!
