Protocols

Highlights

Our protocols are designed to ensure we always do good for our animals, our planet, and people we touch with our products and services.

Grass-Fed (No Grain)

100% of the diet of our grass-fed animals consists of freshly grazed pasture and stored grasses (hay or grass silage.) Free-choice mineral supplementation may also be given as needed.

No Hormones or Steroids

Hormones or steroids are never administered to animals. (The FDA does not allow the use hormones or antibiotics in the production of pork or poultry.)

Never Fed Drugs Or Antibiotics*

* Our natural production practices eliminates the need for sub therapeutic (daily fed low level dose) medications that are commonly used in confinement production systems. However, in certain cases to prevent animals from death or suffering we do allow for limited use of therapeutic (spot treatment) medication. In such cases the prescribed withdrawal period is doubled before animals are ever harvested. We feel that this exception is only practical to ensure wise stewardship practices and ethical treatment of our livestock.

GMO-Free

Animals raised without feeding genetically modified organisms such as GMO corn or soybeans.

Pasture-Raised

As the seasons allow animals are raised in the open pasture or field.

No Animal By-Products

Raised without feeding any animal by-products.

No Herbicide or Pesticides

No herbicides or pesticides used in hay production or on animals. Alternative pest management techniques are used instead.
