Thank you Lauren Minard Rohwer for these magnificent Red Devon heifers and steer to start our herd. Why add cows to our farm? We are adding them to our toolbox for continuing to revitalize the soils on our farm, for natural parasite management in our sheep flock and for producing nutrient/dense, regenerative beef starting late 2027. And why these Red Devons? They come from genetic lines that have been selected for thriving on 100% grass. We have put them on a 16 acre field abutting an orchard that isn’t quite right for sheep right now but unlike sheep, cows will also eat hay even when there are greener options. So we’re rolling out some round bales, letting them eat some, trample some, forage the green stuff and get it sheep-ready for the next time around this fall. Environmental stewardship, strategic grazing and providing our community with a source for nutrient dense, humanely-raised food is at the core of what we do.
