As the seasons allow, our cows are raised in the open pasture or field. They are 100% grass-fed and finished, which means they only eat their natural diet of grasses and what they forage on pasture. In the colder months, they have hay and free choice organic nutrients in the barn.
Our cows are NEVER supplemented with grain feed. Our goal is to raise the healthiest and happiest animals possible!
