“Neil has always made it very clear to me that this land will treat you well as long as you treat it well. We take great pride in managing our
pastures so that we can get the most benefit from them. We rotate cattle around frequently to avoid grazing the pastures too much, and also
give the pastures plenty of resting time so that they can recover. All of these management practices have been perfected by Neil over his
lifetime, and now I am getting to benefit from learning from his experience.”
-Nate Bien
