Are your cows pastured?
During the warm months (approx. April to November) the cows feed primarily on grass/pasture because they are out to pasture every day. They have access to the outdoors 365 days a year (weather permitting of course) and have ample size accommodation when they are indoors.
When they are indoors they eat a balanced ration of grass, grains, and legumes.
Their diet must comprise of only 100% vegetarian certified organic feed (no GMO or treated seed) and consists primarily of grass.
We like our members to create a complete system on their farms by growing the feed for their cows on their land and using the manure for composting, which they apply back onto the crops. This, with proper crop rotation will allow the farm to run sustainably. The type of grains each producer feed their cows depends on what can be grown in their fields.
