About Us
South Pole Cattle
South Polls are bred to be slick-haired, small-framed cows with emphasis placed on high fertility, longevity, and calm disposition. South Polls are bred to excel on a grass based grazing system. Ultrasound and actual carcass data on the South Poll tells us that they are as tender, or more tender, than straight bred English cattle.
The reason we have chosen to raise South Poll Cattle is because of their excellent tolerance for high temperatures and efficient conversion of grass to tender beef. Many cattle have tough meet when they are only feed forages such as grass and clover. Angus do not do well with high temperatures. And there are lots of cows who are tough to handle, skiddish and wild. Our South Pole Cattle are the calmest, gentlest, best dispositioned cattle, who tollerate hot Missouri temperatures and yield tender beef. Who could ask for more?
Biodynamically grown?
What does this mean?
Biodynamics is a holistic, ecological and ethical approach to farming, gardening, food and nutrition.
Biodynamic farmers strive to create a diversified, balanced farm ecosystem that generates health and fertility as much as possible from within the farm itself. Preparations made from fermented manure, minerals and herbs are used to help restore and harmonize the vital life forces of the farm and to enhance the nutrition, quality and flavor of the food being raised.
Community supported agriculture (CSA), for example, was pioneered by biodynamic farmers, and many biodynamic practitioners work in creative partnerships with other farms and with schools, medical and wellness facilities, restaurants, hotels, homes for social therapy and other organizations. Biodynamics is thus not just a holistic agricultural system but also a potent movement for new thinking and practices in all aspects of life connected to food and agriculture.
