We feed 35 head of grass-finished Dexter cattle on 30 acres of grassland, including ground for making all our own hay and without using chemical fertilizers except lime. In this video I explain our grazing method to maximize pasture yields, and how we keep our hay fields in peak production via rotating them in and out of pasture ground, composting and spreading manure from our pigs and chickens as well as our cattle, and adding trace minerals to the soil to replace those leaving the farm as beef.
