Good Morning from your farmer,

The documentary Sacred Cow is known for the phrase "It's NOT the Cow, It's The How!"

The meaning is simple. The cow is not responsible for any environmental effects on our land, water, or air. However, the way MAN insists on managing the cow IS RESPONSIBLE.

The cow left to her nature and instinct would never confine themselves into a feedlot situration where they would be standing in their waste. Nor would the cow, when left to their nature and instinct, confine themselves to a single pasture on continuous graze.

The cow's nature and instinct would be to eat, graze, and move - very similar to the buffalo whose nature and instinct effectively nourished the Great Plains - before man destroyed most of this highly functioning ecosystem by removing the buffalo and applying tillage for row crops.

Pretty much the same can be said for chicken grown inside these 10,000 plus confinement houses where they spend their entire life - walking and squatting on weeks of their waste before harvest.

Centralizing animals, whether it be cows, pigs, chickens (even humans), is not a good idea and will eventually lead to many unintended consequences - mostly caused by pathogens that thrive in these centralized environments.

While we do keep our broilers inside a "chicken tractor" we also move them daily to "fresh grass". Very seldom will we miss a day of moving (typically because of a large rain event). Our "decentralized" methods better emulate nature and allow the "break" in pathogens to occur before the animals return to the same area again.

January 28, 2024, Google Maps updated their satellite image for our farm. Here is the image showing our broiler chicken tractors. You can see the trail left from the daily moves. The brown is dry hay we put down for the chickens on the very cold nights to keep them warm (off the cold and possibly damp ground). Notice that in less than two weeks the trail fades away as the soil absorbs and cycles nutrients.

Our Regenerative Principles are healthy for our ecosystem, our animals, and our customers.
