Flip, LLC - Idlewild Ranch

Flip, LLC - Idlewild Ranch is a cattle operation in Zolfo Springs, FL, Hardee County and central Florida near Tampa. The ranch draws on a long heritage of livestock raising and follows industry guidelines for herd health, including regular testing for bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease.

Animals rotate through grass pastures that support natural foraging and access to fresh water and shade shelters. Nutritional plans include locally sourced hay and trace mineral supplements tailored to each herd group. Calves are handled gently from an early age to build calm dispositions and familiarization with the care team.

The facility sits on family-owned land where sustainable grazing and soil stewardship guide daily routines. Several young cattle have earned placings at county fairs, and reviews note the attentive care the ranch's stock receives. Occasional farm events share insights into pasture management and animal husbandry with local agricultural groups.
