Grass Fed Grass Finished Round 3

On May 1, we will be getting 80 head of cattle. The cattle are raised up at our other ranch in North Boulder, Headwaters Ranch. They are a Red Devon/Black Angus mix, and some have a little Hereford in them as well. They will arrive from Paradise Valley, Montana as yearlings, which means their average age upon arrival will be about 10-11 months. Currently the ranch has 80 yearlings which are moved through 1.5-2 acre paddocks daily, using temporary electrical fencing. The cows are provided with fresh water using our mobile trough systems attached to our irrigation, and they are provided with supplementary minerals to improve digestion and food absorption. These cows are grass-fed, grass-finished, and raised on pasture for their entire lives. Rotational grazing keeps the land healthy by ensuring that the cows don’t over graze and aren’t on any one space for long enough to create compaction issues. Rotationally grazing not only protects the land from overuse, it actually helps the soil when the cows eat at a rate that promotes growth and fertilizes the soil with their manure.
