With resilient and easy going livestock adapted to our climate in the PNW, our Red Devon cattle and Kiko goats thrive on natural forages and succeed in our environment with little to no maintenance from us.
- Our registered Red Devon cattle are excellent mothers that deliver calves unassisted on pasture. These beautiful Ruby Red cattle are rotationally grazed on grass and trained to single strand polywire. Incredibly docile, these cattle move between our farm and rental pasture often, making them easy to herd, corral and load on foot with minimal infrastructure.
- Hardy Kiko brush goats earn their keep on the ranch by grazing what the cattle do not. Doelings always kid outside on pasture, often delivering twins or triplets unassisted. Our goats browse within portable electric netting year round, under the watchful eye of livestock guardian dogs.
As a result of our holistic and intentional livestock management style, we also grow nutrient dense pasture raised proteins naturally with: no added hormones, no antibiotics, no steroids, no GMOs, no corn and no soy.
Giving you back time for what matters most by improving your herd.
low maintenance & low stress livestock
PASTURE RAISED
Our laying hens eat no-GMOs, no corn and no soy. They eat Premium Layer Feed from Spokane’s Natural Farm Feed made of triticale, barley, peas, camelina, organic kelp meal and organic wheat middlings.
As soon as our hens are old enough to leave the warmth and safety of the brooder, they are foraging out in the grass of our fields and orchard here in the Big Bottom Valley. They self load themselves into a mobile coop in the field at night and unload themselves in the morning when are ready to go foraging.
Heritage and production breed laying hens free range within portable electric netting in our field to keep them safe from predators. They spend most of their day hunting bugs, scratching in the grass and dust bathing.
Born and raised on the lush pastures of our family farm, our sheep are grass fed and grass finished. They never receive steroids, hormones or antibiotics. By raising lambs naturally, humanely and regeneratively, we are grow flavorful, nutrient-packed protein for families.
We shepherd our sheep to fresh grass paddocks every 2 days so that they always have the best and most diverse forage available for consumption. This makes for a healthier sheep, better biodiversity on our farm and healthier, less compact soils. Our sheep are trained to 2 strand electric wire and raised under the protective eye of livestock guardian dogs.
Kiko goats are hardy and resilient. Ours are given no antibiotics, no dewormers and we never trim hooves.
We manage our Kiko goats for natural brush control on our farm so that we do not poison our soils with chemicals. They readily eat himalayan blackberry, snowberry, vine maple and defoliate just about any plant they come across.
Kiko goats are low maintenance and require less inputs than other meat goat breeds. Ours are never in a barn, seeking cover under trees and brush where the birth their young as well.
