What does North Hollow Farm feed its cattle?
Our cattle have always been raised as vegetarians, never receiving any animal parts or by-products. The cattle on the farm don’t eat anything that’s not produced on the farm. Their diet is grass in the summer and stored forages (hay and silage – ‘chopped grass’), grown organically on the farm, in the winter. This results in pasture fed beef which is high in beneficial Omega 3. This means their feed is not treated with any chemicals, genetically modified organisms, growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. Our calves spend the first 8 to 10 months with their mother. This natural process provides the animal with antibodies from the mother’s milk to ensure animal wellness. When they are weaned, our cattle graze free range on grass. This open environment makes it less likely that cattle will spread bacteria or sickness to one another.
