About the Farm
Background
The Ruegsegger family continues a tradition of livestock farming passed down from Ken's father, emphasizing patience and natural growth. Since 1984, they have refrained from using pesticides on their land, focusing on healthier, slower-maturing animals.
Practices
Their farming practices include raising cattle on pasture until slaughter, avoiding confined feedlots and cages for birds, and not feeding any animal by-products. They prioritize the health of their animals by not using hormones or antibiotics, allowing them to mature naturally.
The Rest
The Ruegseggers' approach contrasts sharply with commercial beef operations that rely on hormones and antibiotics to speed up growth in confined conditions.
