There are some steers you wish you could keep forever 🤎 Oh Finlay, you have my heart.

Spring-ish is upon us! Love watching our fruit trees start blossoming. So pretty, so fragrant 💕

Happy National Ag Day to our farmers and ranchers nationwide - big or small - you matter in what you’re doing! 🌱

Early morning devotion, reflection, prayer and just complete gratefulness to God in all things. He didn’t have to, but He did it anyway. He is so kind and gracious and so good, even if things of this world aren’t. Lean in - He’s there waiting for you! ❤️

Wow! What a blessing to see the Northern Lights in Northern Colorado!
Can you see the Northern Lights from where you are?? 🌅

Grace in the grit. Beauty in the quiet 🖤

Fall sunsets just hit different 🌅🌄

Such a beautiful surprise this morning while working with Emery’s newest calf!! 😍❤️🎈

As part of our regenerative agriculture practices, we never use herbicides on our pastures. Instead, we rely on rotational grazing, species diversity, and good old-fashioned manual labor — like pulling invasive thistle before it goes to seed.

Thistle spreads aggressively and competes with native grasses and forage species, so timely management is key to maintaining healthy, productive pasture.

Over the course of the last few years, terms like grass-fed and grass-finished have become agricultural buzz words — but did you know these labels can be misleading? All cattle start on grass, so “grass-fed” alone means very little without context. What truly matters is access to live pasture, not just being fed hay or silage indoors.

Here in Colorado, our cattle rotationally graze from April through October, and are supplemented with unsprayed grass hay during the winter months.

If you’re sourcing beef labeled “grass-fed” or “grass-finished,” ask where the animals were raised, how the pastures were managed, and whether the forage was chemically treated. Those details matter — both for animal health and for yours! Which is why we do what we do.
