Grazing summer annual cover crops is a deluxe pasture salad with at least seven species of plants all with a specific purpose. Several, like the Sun Hemp (tall with yellow flowers) are high protein and nutrient dense for the cattle and several are noted for their ability to mine nutrients with tap roots to assist both soils and the cattle. Two are specific for improving animal health and pull up a reservoir of minerals for the cattle. Below ground the soil biology is having a picnic on different root matter afforded by the seven different species of planted cover crop along with some native summer annual grasses from the soil seed bank.
These holistically managed pastures are capable of holding a lot more water than continuous grazed pastures. The rooting system grows much deeper into the soil allowing for better nutrient selection by plant roots. We are trying to build what our ancestors found in these soils in the early 1800's when grazing animals roamed the prairies.
US Wellness Meats was founded in 2000 in Monticello, Missouri (pop. 98) by visionary farmers, who saw that big-business cattle-raising practices were taking a toll on our animals and our health. By returning to rotational grazing practices that are good for the planet and good for our cattle, we led the way in introducing a new generation to the unmatched taste, tenderness, and healthiness of 100% grass-fed beef.
Our animals don’t need antibiotics, mRNA vaccines, or growth hormones to grow big and healthy. Our land doesn’t need pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or artificial irrigation systems to develop rich, fertile bio-diversity.
