| Summer Pasture at Cascade Brook Farm |
Feeding Protocol
· Cows are pastured on tested (soil analysis) and appropriately fertilized fields
during the growing seasons.
· During non-pasture
seasons, the cows are provided with premium quality hay that is available to them 24/7 free choice.
· Free choice salt blocks.
· Free choice, clean
water 24/7. During the non pasture season, cows use a climate controlled automatic waterer which is sourced directly from
our well. Quality and availability of water is often overlooked for farm animals.
· Cows receive minimal amounts of grain throughout their lives. This allows them to receive the additional
minerals and vitamins they need and can easily assimilate. In addition, this helps us attempt to create the type of beef we
and our customers desire - cuts with some marbling, tenderness and taste.
