Protocols

Our cattle are 100% grassfed and finished, which means that they raised on pasture, eating grass and other perennials and stored grasses (hay or grass silage) in the winter months. They are also provided mineral supplements as needed.  The animals are never fed grain.  Our beef, bison and lamb are all grassfed and finished and are never given grain.

Our animals are raised without the use of hormones or antibiotics**

**Our natural production practices eliminates the need for sub therapeutic (daily fed low level dose) medications that are commonly used in confinement production systems. However, in certain cases to prevent animals from death or suffering we do allow for limited use of therapeutic (spot treatment) medication. In such cases the prescribed withdrawal period is doubled before animals are ever harvested. We feel that this exception is only practical to ensure wise stewardship practices and ethical treatment of our livestock.
