We are seeking to raise cattle in a way that is healthy for the livestock, wildlife and land, as well for those who eat the beef from our operation.  We allow the cattle to graze the grasses and forbs that they evolved with, rather than feed on grains that are foreign to their digestive system.  We provide fresh groundwater and spring flows with year-round access for the cattle.  We avoid the herbicides, pesticides, and parasiticides that might harm the land or cattle.  We have fenced off our riparian zones in order to protect the cover, wildlife and fresh water there.  We are careful to avoid over-stocking the land, and to use rotational grazing systems that give cattle access to clean pastures to graze, and that allow vegetation to protect their root systems, regrow stems and blades, and go to seed successfully.  Most important, we are always trying to listen, watch and learn how to improve our operation.
