We raise a herd of 250 Charolais and Black
Angus cross-bred cows on grassy pastures in Washington and
Idaho.
 
We
believe in raising the animal as close to their natural way
of being as possible.
When
a calf is born it is nursed and nurtured by its mother on
our ranch until it reaches 8-10 months. Every summer, on June
1st we take all of our animals to their summer pasture in
Harvard and Emida, ID. There, they graze on tall grass until
the middle of October. Then, we bring them back to our ranch
where they graze on our pasture until January 1st, so long
as the weather permits. In the winter months, our cows live
in our barnyard where they are protected from the elements
until the snow melts three to four months later. In the wintertime,
our cattle eat hay and natural grains, such as wheat and pea
screenings grown in Rosalia, WA. The harvest weight of our
cattle is 1,000-1,300 lbs.
