So since we’ve moved the chickens out by the cows, we have to drive out at night to lock them up and collect eggs. The last few weeks we have been jumping several birds each trip that all look alike.

They are small but with relatively large wings and very pretty white tips/streaks on the wings that are kind of mesmerizing when they fly in front of the ATV light.

Well tonight we were finally able to get a close up pic and ID them! They are the Common Nighthawk and they are apparently bug eating sons-of-a-guns and are likely stopping through on their migration.

If I had to label the biggest observation we’ve had this year in the farm, it wouldn’t be the grass or grazing…. It’d be the birds! We’ve seen so many that we’ve never noticed before and many more of the ones we normally see. This is definitely one of the perks of the job that you’ll never really notice on the balance sheet. God is good and wants to bless us if we but submit to His design 🙏🙌

Happy Sunday everyone!

We’ve had a lot of folks reach out and ask questions about our last post on the sorghum-sudangrass. Well we just posted a video on our YouTube channel about and wanted to share! I feel like this is one of our better videos and really illustrates this whole process and dives into some of the numbers 💰💰.

Give it a watch and maybe even a like and subscribe on YouTube!

The herd has been loving the sorghum-sudangrass (ss) this year! This has been a fantastic opportunity for our finish animals to put on intramuscular fat (marbling) and our young mommas to grow their calf, grow themselves, and stay in good enough condition to breed back.

This was our wheat field this year and we broadcasted the ss seed with a drone into the standing wheat on June 13. The pic of me next to the crop was on August 7th and it was well over 10’ tall in most parts! This stuff is simply amazing.

This is one of the ways we are doing regenerative ag and trying to make the most out of poor grain markets. Bringing the animals back on the land. 🐮🤠🌱🌾

A little mid summer update on the farm! I mean, let’s be honest, the rains that we have got this year can make most of us look like good graziers… But still, God has blessed us with good knowledge this year as well and that never hurts either!

The very last cut flower harvest from our original garden for our church picnic this week. By the end of the day today, Sievers Blumen Farm will officially only be on the east side of the highway. Bittersweet moment. We brought 4 babies home to that house, started our flower farm, grazed our first cows, tended our first chickens, and learned so much about growing and raising animals and plants (and children!) there. May God bless the new owners on those three little acres just as He blessed us! 🌻💐🌷

If you’ve ever considered upgrading your family’s health choices and trying truly forage fed and finished beef, this fall is your opportunity!

We have an opening for one whole beef. This beef is the premium good stuff. No hormones, no antibiotics, no grain! Just fresh forage each and every day. We never ask them to graze the same plant two days in a row so they always have the best nutrition and are able to marble on forage alone.

We sell wholesale as an attempt to make it affordable for average families just like us. If a whole beef is too much, we can work to pair you up with someone else who also only wants a half or quarter.

Typically a whole beef costs $3500 to $4000for the animal and about $800 to $850 for the processing and then you bring home 400lbs of the most nutrient dense food you could ever feed your family. Basically you get $11/lb ribeyes that could easily cost more than $30/lb if you buy by the cut.

They are scheduled for processing this October. PM us if you’re interested!

Let’s relax and ruminate on Ultra High Intensity Grazing for a bit..

Most of the cows in this photo are first time mommas who need enough energy to nurse their calves AND still grow themselves. They are all in great body condition. No grain. No selective grazing. We manage with typically once daily moves and strive for high harvest efficiency of the grass/forage. This means they only get just enough to fill their rumen each day. This changes the mindset of a cow. All of a sudden it’s like dinner at my house as a kid with multiple siblings: you gotta get while you can! They graze more competitively and less selectively. They consume the whole plant, not just the leafy tips. If given enough time for the forages to fully recover (that’s a whole different side topic in itself), this style of grazing is better for the grasses, helps foster forage species that are more beneficial to the livestock, fantastic for the roots and soil biology, and with the right genetics, it’s great for the cattle. As a farmer, you can easily more than double the amount of animals your ground can carry and potentially eliminate needing to feed hay if you are currently only giving them fresh pasture a few times a year.

This folks, is regenerative ag at its finest. 🤠

We’ve got 5 females looking for new pastures! They are all confirmed 3rd trimester bred by our local vet. Check out this video for more info and shoot us a message if you are interested.

We embrace the title of High Tech Redneck around here! Flying on sorghum sudangrass and grain sorghum into standing wheat. This was right before we harvested the wheat. We don’t harvest the straw but instead allow it to cover the seed just like when you sow new grass in your yard. We will then apply a round of piggy-poo when it’s good and dry and watch these cover crop grasses explode! This will provide with hopefully 5-6 months of grazing and take us straight through winter 🤞
