Grazing In The Snow

After all the snow we have had over the last few days you might be wondering..."What do your grassfed animals eat when it snows?"

Well, if the snow gets really deep we will provide hay (dried and preserved grass from the summer).

However, our primary food for our grassfed animals during the winter is what we call "stockpiled pasture". 

This is pasture that we set aside in the fall and purposefully don't graze with our animals. 

During the winter months we give them incremental slices of it to provide their daily needs. I

ts a huge win for them as the stockpiled pasture is still green and quite lush even during winter!
