- BEEF -
We breed Black Angus beef cattle, a resilient, quiet breed with cows producing sturdy, early-maturing calves. Our cattle graze on native grasses and pasture, with supplemental feeding during the summer of hay made on farm.
Hay is different from grain in that it is cut much earlier in the season (October/November) when the sap is still rising. The stalk is full of nutrition, and the seed hasn’t matured. We never finish our cattle on grain, as they are not evolved to digest it. Cattle were originally forest dwellers and natural browsers.
We practice cell grazing, meaning we have many small paddocks with tree lined boundaries. The animals are moved regularly and calmly gather at the paddock gate when we call them. This rotation of paddocks reduces the worm burden in both the animals and the pasture. We also have a large population of dung beetles that help break down the manure.
We treat our animals with dignity and respect. We transport them to a small private abattoir where we ensure they are dispatched swiftly and humanely, giving us total control over their treatment. Youngsters spend at least 7 months with their mothers, growing in a stress free environment and are slaughtered from about 9 months old.
