All of our cattle are born on our farm, being raised their entire lives on our land, keeping with our policy of maintaining a healthy closed herd.
We never finish them off with any grains, protein tubs, silage or other forced and/or unnatural feeds. They graze on our organic pastures, eating sweet red clover, a diversified mix of grasses
All of our cattle are born on our farm, being raised their entire lives on our land, keeping with our policy of maintaining a healthy closed herd.
We never finish them off with any grains, protein tubs, silage or other forced and/or unnatural feeds. They graze on our organic pastures, eating sweet red clover, a diversified mix of grasses along with alfalfa, during the growing seasons of late spring, summer and autumn months here in Wisconsin. They are fed our own hay (we make our hay ourselves) throughout the winter months and nothing else. We practice holistic, sustainable farming for the health of our land and our animals. We are also a regenerative farm; right from the beginning in 2007, for the best handling of our farm. We practice rotational grazing, reseeding our fields annually to protect our lands and give our cattle a rich, nutritious diet. We never use harmful chemical sprays for fertilizing or weed control on our land, believing that there is more harm in utilizing these toxic practices for both our cattle and our selves. We follow organic practices, plus going the extra step to insure as clean of beef as possible. We do not inject our cattle with any pharmaceuticals, to keep our animals free from any chemicals. We never use noxious pour-ons or sprays for parasite or fly control. We work with natural methods for keeping our beef cattle chemical free and needle free. We use free ranging chickens and ducks to help naturally control flies. We utilize herbal remedies and essential oils , and homeopathy treatments over usual antibiotics and pharmacueticals. We use organic minerals (with NO grains or extra fillers), redmond salt, Acadian kelp, organic apple cider vinegar to support the health of our animals. Cattle that are raised in open, clean, stress free environments tend have very few health problems, unlike cattle raised in CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operations). We know exactly what our animals have been fed and exposed to their whole life. I can absolutely guarantee you of getting clean safe beef from our farm. In today's highly toxic chemical environment, we have concerns of cancers, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, asthmas, ADHD, and many other diseases that seem to affect so many people.
We are committed to be as wholesome and holistic as possible. After all, the old saying "you are what you eat" has a lot of truth today.
Let your food be your medicine less medicine be your food!
Bull's Ranch was established in 2007 when we began our herd of 100% grass fed cattle with 6 young black Galloway/Angus heifers. As we worked to raise our cattle as closely as nature intended, we added our pure blood red Galloway bull and two black pure blood Galloway cows. Galloway cattle are a true heritage breed, one of the oldest breed
Bull's Ranch was established in 2007 when we began our herd of 100% grass fed cattle with 6 young black Galloway/Angus heifers. As we worked to raise our cattle as closely as nature intended, we added our pure blood red Galloway bull and two black pure blood Galloway cows. Galloway cattle are a true heritage breed, one of the oldest breeds that originated in the emerald green grass hills of Scotland.
They are naturally superior for a grass fed beef operation, while remaining true to their origins without genetic modification.
We have continued growing our small herd from these cattle.
Our cattle farming began in Watertown Wisconsin, but as our herd grew and we were contemplating retirement from our "off the farm" jobs; we began searching for a larger farm.
We were drawn to the southwestern part of our state, in the unique driftless area. We had barely began our search when we found our ridge top property in the rural township of Willow in Richland county. It's a little bit of God's heaven on earth. We are at the very end of a dead end lane...providing tranquility and a peaceful environment for our selves and our animals.
We moved in mid summer of 2017, becoming full time farmers.
We have put up lots of fencing; cut, rake and bale our own hay; move cattle, feed cattle, and enjoy cattle!
We are a small husband and wife run farm. We pride ourselves on being independent and being able to keep to our beliefs of less is best.
You can taste the difference in our beef from the first bite - flavorful, clean, natural!
This is how beef used to be raised, over years not months. Grass fed cattle have more complex beef flavors that you will never find in "grocery store" CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) beef.
Grass fed beef is naturally lean with much less

Grass fed beef is naturally lean with much less fat and...contrary to beliefs that you have to have fat for flavor...amazing taste!
We know grains are not a natural feed for any cattle, creating digestive upsets that require antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals. Feedlot cattle are fed a lot of extra feeds/grains/questionable supplements to fatten them up and have them market ready in 13-17 months; for the benefit of the business, not the animal. Cattle have four parts to their stomachs (rumen,reticulum, omasum and abomasum), so keeping these working well keep cattle happy and healthy.
Our cattle are raised only on our pastures and our hay to keep in practice with our organic, chemical free life style.
They are raised for 24 months to three years for the best grass fed beef. It's worth the wait to raise grass fed beef the right way.
We keep a closed farm (meaning we don't bring in animals from outside of our farm), to suppress the exposure of our cattle to diseases and stress.
Lastly, but
one of the most important part of raising meat animals is the harvesting of them at the end of their lives. We work very hard to keep our animals living a stress free, humane life. This is why we have the harvesting done only on our farm. We can control the whole process of a calm and stress free ending. There is no loading up to drive to the local butcher shop, unload in an unfamiliar setting, with unsettling noises and smells and unfamiliar people who may not be as humane or kind as I would expect my animals to be handled. For this reason,
we are very pleased to utilize Prem Meats Natural Harvest "on the farm" butchering. The Wisconsin state meat inspector accompanies them, supervises the complete process, approving our farm for selling inspected beef.
Keeping the cattle calm and in their familiar setting makes harvesting day best for our cattle; and for my peace of mind.
