We are involved with our county’s land and soil management program, which allows us to monitor for erosion along with sustainable land use. Over the past 5 years we have seen the benefits of having cattle in our existing pastures with decreased soil erosion by using more vegetation as barriers by creek banks. Through soil sampling our pastures once a year, we know what nutrients are in the soil and what nutrients need to be added to grow the best grazing crop for our cattle to raise the best calves on. We are beef quality assurance certified in cow-calf operations, feedlot operations, and cattle transportation. Having a bachelor’s degree in animal science helps our operation use more sustainable practices allowing us to be more efficient and useful with the land.
