In the midwest there are few months out of every year when the ground is covered with snow or is muddy from the rain and melting snow. During these times the cows are fed dried, stored grasses that have been harvested during the peak of the summer when the grass is growing well and is nutrient rich for the cows. Our farmers are allowed to minimally supplement their cows feed with organic feed such as corn, soybeans, wheat or barley. This additional food supplement is for the cows health. We want to ensure the cow is receiving as much energy as she needs to maintain her health and body-condition.
