Animals graze on rotational pastures planted with native fescue and clover to support natural weight gains and digestive health. Calves remain with their dams through weaning, allowing for gradual diet transition and early handling to encourage calm temperaments. A spring-fed pond and sheltered calving barn offer protection during extreme weather common to this part of Missouri. Records of lineage and performance data are available for each animal, underscoring transparency and consistency across her herd. Careful attention to forage quality and animal well-being has earned positive feedback from neighboring livestock operations.
