Description:
We are a small family ranch that raise Navajo-Churro sheep, goats and cattle on pasture year round. We provide fresh pasture, water and free choice minerals, with supplemental hay in winter (hay is harvested from our fields). Animals have access to barns and cover year-round. Navajo-Churro sheep are known for their rich yet lean meat and are listed in the Slow Food Ark of Taste https://www.slowfoodusa.org/ark-item/navajo-churro-sheep, we offer meat, wool and breeding stock.
Production Practices:
Animals are humanely treated, anti-biotic free, and 100% pasture/grass fed. We rotate animals among various pastures, where they always have access to fresh water and minerals. We grow our pastures and hay fields with farm-generated, animal-provided fertilizer only.
