our cattle

100% of our cattle are grass fed, grain finished! Ricochet Farms feels that with this combination, our cattle are always flavorful, high marbling, and have less excess fat. They are on pasture throughout the spring and summer and then fed baled alfalfa or cover crop mixes throughout the fall and winter.

Their diet consists of pasture/hay when they are small and growing. Once they come off of pasture, their diet consists of haylage or cover crops, cornsilage, and ground corn. All of those are grown right on our farm, and harvested in the spring, summer, and fall. The cattle also have distillers and mineral added to their diet to make sure they have all the correct nutrients. These ingredients all come from the local feed store.
