What Nobody is Telling You about Starting Your Own Farm, STRESS! $$$$

What happens here

Select cattle genetics suitable for a grass-fed system and implement a health management approach that minimizes external inputs. The farm uses Black Angus cattle, specifically bred to thrive on grass without the need for dewormers or routine medication. The philosophy is to 'medicate the sick, not the well,' meaning animals are only treated if they fall ill, avoiding prophylactic treatments common in conventional feedlot operations. This ensures healthier animals and higher quality grass-fed beef. The speaker introduces 'Donnie,' a South Pole bull, as an example of seeking out the best genetics.

Goal: Raise healthy grass-fed cattle with minimal external inputs.
