love grazing. Managed grazing is cow friendly,
family friendly, environmentally friendly, and
financially friendly. Before you go down the
difficult road of a conventional expansion, do

easy way through managed grazing. Your
family and your cows will thank you.
Helping the family farm prosper by specializing in
high quality forages and grazing since 1993.
