Pasture

With a small acreage in central Iowa, we have to work hard to manage our space. We are always looking to improve our practices, mow less, and not spray really anything at all. Here is how we keep our herd of mixed species.

Equine + Caprine

Our grazing space totals only about 2.5 acres. We rotate everyone on it every day. Everyone is rotated on pasture in warmer months. Our goats have access to hay year round, and they have several hours out browsing each day.

Space + Health

Paddocks are kept tidy by composting manure and controlling noxious weeds that crowd out grass and good browse. For our animals, their time in the field is just as much for their mental health and exercise as it is for sustenance.
