Our very small farm is located on a rocky hillside in Utah's beautiful Cache Valley. We have just six Brown Swiss cows that are pampered and spoiled, but they do have to endure Northern Utah winters ... hence the term "hardy cows." We choose not to use any artificial growth hormones on our cows, thus allowing them to produce just what nature (and a few hundred years of selective breeding) intended. The girls eat only the finest alfalfa, some rolled corn and barley and all the grass they want ... when it's not covered with snow! We are firm believers in using natural, sustainable practices that will leave our little piece of paradise better than we found it. We know that our animals deserve not only humane treatment, they deserve our respect.
