Herd Quitters

As you may have read on our About Us page, we've been in the a progressional change for about a decade. Our ideas and philosophies are emerging and evolving toward regeneration. Our herd, soil, and farm management are also a work in progress. I like to think of it as progress, because mistakes and failures tend to push you toward progress. We are ever moving forward.
As our former farm name (Youngblood Grassfed Farm) identifies, we were, and are still, a completely grass-based operation. After the closing of our brick-and-mortar artisan butchershop and delivery business, we reevaluated our needs and wants. We truly believe tender, gourmet, juicy, flavorful beef can be raised on grass. It is a artisanal mixture of genetics and forages, seasonality and diligence. However, instead of producing the final product, at this time, we are mostly herd builders. We've managed and developed our beef herds to be hardy graziers. They tolerate heat and continue to gain. They tolerate drought and continue to thrive.
Our current beef herd has a mostly South Poll . These girls are deep bodied, small framed, docile, excellent milkers, but most important, HEAT TOLERANT . We have focused on selecting for heat and pest tolerance. We
South Poll are known to be gentle, excellent mothers, high-performance meat-to-bone-ratio with little inputs in a heat dominant environment.
We only sell beef by the whole, half or quarters, FREEZER BEEF. We do sell some bulls, bred heifers, and ones that don’t meet our requirements yearly.
