| Each year we purchase steers to be finished on our pastures. The animals we buy are coming off pasture and mother's milk only. They are between six months and a year of age and will stay with us for a year to 18 months. In that time they will receive no grain of any kind. In addition we use no antibiotics, hormones or commercial wormers or insecticides. We do use Basic H from Shacklee's in the water periodically for worms and in a spray for biting insects. This product is a soap made from soy beans and is completely organic. The finishing of cattle on pasture is an art. It is much easier and faster to feed large amounts of corn (up to 90% of the diet) to grow and fatten the steers. The adverse impact of this practice on human health, animal welfare and the environment is well known. Our goal with our cattle, as with all animals here at HSF, is to raise animals that are healthy, content and good for you. *For more info on the importance of grass fed meats, milk and eggs for your health, please visit www.eatwild.com . |
