Gentle Weaning |
Our Method
Our cattle are Garrison Valley cattle, meaning that they are all born and raised on local family farms. By keeping our herds local, we significantly reduce incidents of disease. Our calves are gently weaned and then, depending on time of year, placed in fields growing high quality seasonal forages such as oats, rye, and pearl millet. We do not feed our cattle growth stimulants or therapeutic antibiotics. Our cattle are selected and raised to be wholesome, healthy and thrive on local forages, just as they have for thousands of years. We believe that the best way to raise our cattle is to let them freely graze the grass we grow. We offer both grain and grass-finished cattle. |
Our Cattle
We raise Angus cattle because of their well-established reputation for producing high quality meat. Because we are in daily contact with our cattle, we place a primary emphasis on temperament--calm cattle aren’t just safer to be around, they generally make for a bigger, better tasting end product.
We pride ourselves on selecting the very best breeding stock available. This means selecting cattle that will thrive in the Middle Tennessee climate on our native grasses. We routinely incorporate the latest technology available for genetic testing and software-based qualitative analysis in our management protocol, but fundamentally, those are just tools that help to focus our own experience-based decision making process—there is simply no substitute for a lifetime spent raising cattle.
