“This is our little paradise; we work side-by-side every day and put everything we have into raising beef. The cattle here are comfortable and their needs are put ahead of ours, every single time. We are proud to be able to play a small part in the beef community.”

“I feel like we are the ultimate stewards of our land. There’s no one that can care for it like we do because we know it so well. Everything we feed our cattle is grown either by us, or nearby neighbors, and we create our animals’ diets based on what’s in season.”
