His herd grazes on rotational pasture, ensuring robust growth and natural behaviors from calfhood. Calves receive daily socialization, and each animal benefits from routine veterinary care including immunizations and hoof trimming.

Each year, calves are registered in the national herdbook, providing buyers with reliable pedigrees and ensuring traceability within industry standards. Supplemental hay feeding and targeted mineral supplementation during winter support steady nutrition when pastures rest.
