There is nothing easy about raising quality Grass-fed beef, or adding life back into the soil, or learning intensified management grazing (IMG), or eco-farming. We don't believe a 'cookie cutter recipe exists for creating a sustainable environment or growing out clean, healthy animals for your table.
So we read and study a lot, experiment a lot, evaluate, evaluate, evaluate - and talk to like minded souls, go to seminars we think might be 'progressive'. Here are some websites we feel are most helpful. Hope they can help you.
