Easy Keepers

Chris, 

I just visited your web site, very informative. Looking at the pictures I realized that you
 should consider advertising that your cattle are raised on a grass based feeding
program. A grass based feeding program means that your cattle do not need a grain
ration to survive. Grass fed cattle have fewer digestive upsets, lower cost of
maintenance (i.e. feed cost), fewer vet. bills, easy transition to a new farm - with
grazing, hence they should be called "easy keepers". A grass fed animal is basically self
 sufficient, provided there is water, grazing or hay available. A grain fed animal must be
 fed on a consistent basis or run the risk of acidosis, bloat, and off feed problems. A
grass fed animal requires very little expertise in feeding and care.

Just a few of my thoughts.
