Diversified Farm

 Variety of crops and animals

 Different animal species raised on the same farm

Cattle, dairy, swine, poultry, sheep

 Benefits of diversity

Pace income throughout the year

Accommodate land type and topography

Why Did You Choose Beef?

 Good grass country

 Rolling hills and good drainage

Terry’s Farm

Current Operation

 400 acres—160 in hay

 80–110 head cattle

 Rotational grazing

 No confinement

 Self-sufficient—all feed grown on the farm

Cannot Keep All of Calf Crop

 For income and land limitations, about 80% of calves are sold

at 6 months

 Keep 8–10% of calf crop as replacement heifers

 Keep another 5–6% of calf crop for customers who want free-

range, pasture-raised beef with no antibiotics, no hormones,

and no confinement

Keeping Warm

 During winter months, a cow getting ready to give birth is put in a

barn until the calf is born

 The cow and calf go back out to pasture the next day

Dairy Industry Consolidation

 Transition under way now—

From: Numerous dairies in Midwest with 12–14 dairy cows on

pasture, milked two times daily

To: Huge industrial dairies with 700 or more head of milk cows,

milked four times per day, confined, tails chopped off

Putting small dairies out of business, e.g., in Missouri there are

now only two dairies

The Way Forward …

 Need smaller farms

 Renew and revamp a system that’s good for the economy, the

community, and the animals
