When raising cattle, the feed is the most expensive part! If you can grow your own feed in a pasture, youāll be drastically cutting the cost of raising those cattle.

We knew we were battling thistle, but it turns out, the thistle wasnāt the problem, it was the only a symptom of a larger issue. Listen to this podcast episode with Karson Rippstein from Redmond Agriculture as he helps uncover the problems weāre facing in our pastures.
