Q. Do you use any antibiotics on your cattle?

A. Our cattle are raised 100% antibiotic and hormone free. That means that our herd is raised on grass forage, water and the occasional hay bale during the winter months. We believe this is the way that nature intended for our beef to be raised.

Q. What method of grazing do you use?

A. We utilize a method known as rotational grazing. This is a method where we split our pasture into smaller paddocks using temporary fencing and rotate our herd every 1-2 days. This allows our cattle to have the highest quality forage we have available and allows past paddocks to get needed rest to recover. As a result, our cattle stays happy and healthy and so does our land which in turn provides the consumer with the healthiest beef possible.
