At Angel Acres Farm, we believe in and practice naturally sustainable
farming. It is an important point to remember that cattle are
naturally intended to eat grass. You may have noticed that cows
don’t have thumbs and can’t shuck corn. Why do cows have four
stomachs and slowly chew their cud? It is to break down the grass
and fully absorb the nutrients. The Belted Galloway breed of
cattle is especially proficient at foraging and growing on a
pure grass fed diet.
Our fields are loaded with fescue and clover. We rotate the cattle between
the fields to keep them on the best grasses. We cut the grass in the
excess fields and then store it for winter hay. The herd is personally
supervised daily.
Our Beltie’s are never fed animal byproducts or injected with growth hormone
like typical feedlot cattle. We do not use any kind of cattle prods. Every
one of our herd is checked by a veterinarian annually. Mature
steers are ready for processing around between twenty-four and
twenty-eight months of age. The herd is personally supervised daily.
