Our sheep and beef rotationally graze on pasture spring, summer and fall. In winter they are fed hay purchased from our neighbors. We do
not finish on grain, use of synthetic growth hormones, or antibiotics on healthy stock. In order to grow our beef quickly on grass and hay,
we select for small-framed Black Angus cows and bulls. We raise North Country Cheviot sheep - a hardy, flighty, stocky breed who give our
Border Collie, Pip, a run for the money. Along with pasture-raised, 100% grassfed lamb and beef, we also raise pastured/barnyard Berkshire
pigs. We are still learning how best to incorporate these intelligent, rooting, omnivores into our pasture without creating too much
disturbance and chaos on the farm. They spend the winter and wet spring well-bedded and with plenty of space to root in the barn and
barnyard. And when the conditions are right, we get them out on pasture or selected woodlots to graze and root.
