Tim Cribb follows a low-stress handling philosophy, rotating pastures to support soil health and animal welfare. Calves spend their early weeks socializing with family herds under covered barns, ensuring they adapt smoothly to outdoor pastures. The farm occupies a historic homestead dating back two generations, and visitors often comment on the attentive care and transparent health records. A seasonal feeding program combines native grasses with non-GMO grain blends during colder months to support steady growth and marbling development. Regular collaboration with local veterinarians ensures reproductive health, and detailed lineage records are maintained for transparency.
