Beef

 Here’s a picture of the cow herd taken in June 2011. Grazing is a very important part of their diet. They generally leave the barn in April or May and they return in late September to avoid their being mistaken for deer during the hunting season. Since 1998 there has been no growth hormones used on the herd. This is a closed herd of cattle, meaning that calves raised for beef come from the cows here. We do not buy in cattle from other sources and most of their food is grown  on my farm under my management, the only exception is the spent grains fed to the finishing pen which come from the Refined Fool in Sarnia. This enables us to ensure quality control of our beef. The beef calves are fed a forage heavy diet with some corn and spent grains to help fatten them. Over the course of their lives, each calf will consume an average of about 5 lbs/day, substantially less than a corn fed ration.
