Ample space for frolic, available shade from summer heat, shelter from rain, abundant spring water, a constant supply of fresh forage and protection from predators results in Shetland Sheep that are disease free, GMO grain free, vaccine free and safe for our family and yours.
Springtime means daffodils, jonquils and lilacs sold in thrift store vases at roadside. Later in the season, tomatoes, honey, and other bounty.

Two 11 month-old Tennessee line Hereford steers, grazed on untreated grass and alfalfa before arrival, will be finished on our all natural pasture grass until Fall snaps and the field growing begins to slow. Each day a new 40 x 40' paddock provides wholesome (poop-free) forage, supporting good health naturally.
In this abundant season, daily live music played in the pasture finds #06 and #51 pretty content. They seem to prefer John Denver over Boz Skaggs, closing their eyes, chewing their cud and having their own Selkirk Mountain high.
Pasture music, who'd have thought?

A tip of the hat to both Cadillac and to Matt's father Phil finds this Mother Earth News - modified moving chicken coop on a new 40 x 40' paddock daily. By following three days behind the steers, all cow manure is scratched/broadcast by the chickens, the emerging fly larvae provide protein in the chicken's diet, we enjoy fewer flies in air, fewer flies pestering the cows, and six beautiful jumbo brown eggs daily on average.
