A happy cow with a well-lived life produces the best meat. At Headwater, this begins with the calf, naturally nursingoff its mother until she organically weans it off. Our cow babies might grow to the size of their mothers over the initialten growths of their development as they nurse and enjoy the ranch’s natural grasses, while simultaneously receivingmuch needed nutrition from their mama’s milk. Right now, we have one of our first baby cows, Liv, weighing nearlyseven hundred pounds, six hundred less than its mom, which we are thoroughly enjoying watching as this process ofevolution unfolds.As a matter of fact, this Spring we had thirty-four pregnant moms, and all births have taken place. We are committedto allowing for whole bovine lives experienced as in the wild in existence with the entire herd, rotationally grazing ourspecially cultivated land. Groups of 60-80 of these beautiful beasts enjoy our fresh native grasses daily while beingraised in the most humane and environmentally friendly way, unlike traditional grain-fed and farmed cows forced toadhere to an unnatural lifestyle spurred by the human impetus for convenience and higher profit.Ultimately, a grass-fed diet for the cow leads to the improvement of fibers hidden deep within the muscles, translatinginto more nutrients, leaner calories, and up to five times more Omega-3 fatty acids. Delicious, nutritious, and chockfull of rich flavor, Headwater cows are examples of a truly sustainable regional food source.
