High Hope Farm
Steers
We raise our Limousin, Angus and Charolais steers on naturally fertilized and regularly rotated pastures of native grasses. We use no antibiotics, steroids, growth hormones or other chemical products.
Lamb
Lamb at High Hope Farm enjoy green grass, clean water, fresh air, and no stress. Rotating pastures brings healthy soil, flourishing grasslands, and happy animals.
