Our managment practices are straight forward - keep it simple and low stress. The summer of 2008, we began a sustainable land-use management project utilizing rotational grazing. This practice involves moving the herd through a system of paddocks, providing fresh grazing for the stock and allowing rest and reqrowth of forage in the paddocks.

Exclusively grass-fed, the cattle, including calves, forage on native grasses, fescue, orchard grass, and legumes and are provided free choice minerals. Hay from our farm is provided as a supplement during the winter season after stockpiled paddocks have been grazed.

Male and female selection is not based on expected progeny differences (EPDs) alone, but in conjunction with common sense and studied judgement of the animal. From the hooves up, what is the bull or cow telling us? Records are kept on each animal.
