Four fields, one shared pasture
We kept adding a few more head of cattle each season until it stopped being a side project and became a real bull farm. We started keeping notes on feeding, calving, and pasture rotation just to remember what worked, and eventually those notes turned into something we wanted to share. The first batch of calves we sold went to eleven neighboring farms, and we've kept careful records on every animal since.
Pasture first, barn second
Every bull on this farm starts out in the pasture, not on paper. Before we make any claim about bloodlines or weight gain, someone who has actually worked the cattle barn that week checks it in person. If a claim about our bull breeding program or our cattle feed program can't hold up after a second look at the actual herd, it doesn't go on the page.
