Months of planning, grant writing, fencing, and pasture preparation have led to this moment. Training with the new Nofence collars is officially underway. Every dot on this map represents a cow learning something new—and every acre they’ll be able to graze is another step toward healthier pastures, healthier soil, and a more resilient farm.

Collar update!

The first group got fitted with their new Nofence collars yesterday afternoon. They spent their first night wearing them, and this afternoon we’ll (hopefully!) start their training.

This herd has never worn collars, chains, or anything around their necks before. Putting the collars on was completely uneventful… but for about the first 30 seconds afterward, you’d have thought a few of them were trying out for the PBR. 😂 They quickly realized they weren’t being attacked by the scary black box and settled right down.

It’s pretty incredible to open an app on my phone first thing in the morning and instantly see exactly where the cows are. It already feels like these 25 new employees are earning their keep, and I have a feeling they’re going to make leaving the farm—even just for a few days—a whole lot easier. Really excited to see what they can do.

Some days farming feels like you’re standing still, and then other days you realize just how far you’ve come.

Today was one of those days.

After months of grant applications, planning, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work, 25 Nofence collars finally showed up at the farm.

At the same time, I’ve been working hard to open up new pasture on a neighboring farm. I honestly don’t think these cows realize how lucky they are. Fresh grass, beautiful Vermont hillsides, and even more room to roam.

Now I just have to get everyone through orientation. 😄🐄

Yesterday I also dropped off three steers that spent the summer intensively rotationally grazed on lush clover. I’m really excited to hear how they turn out.

There are still two halves available if you’d like to stock your freezer with grass-fed, grass-finished beef.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Dumont Farm & Cattle Company. It’s pretty exciting to watch this farm keep growing.

Know Where Your Beef Comes From—Reserve a Quarter or Half Today

These 27-month-old Red and Black Angus have been raised the way cattle were meant to live: outdoors on pasture, moving frequently to fresh grass, and handled quietly in an exceptionally low-stress environment.

For two full grazing seasons, they have been intensively rotationally grazed across our Vermont pastures, allowing them to continually harvest fresh, nutrient-dense forage while giving the land time to rest and regrow. Their current pasture is rich in red and white clover, a highly digestible, protein-rich forage that helps cattle maintain steady growth and finish well on grass—without relying on grain.

Our beef is:

🌱 100% grass-fed and grass-finished
🐂 Red and Black Angus
☘️ Raised on clover-rich Vermont pasture
🌾 Intensively rotationally grazed for two summers
🤍 Calmly handled by the same farmer throughout their lives
🚫 Never pushed through a high-stress feedlot system
🏡 Born and raised here at Dumont Farm & Cattle Company

Low-stress handling is not only better for the animal—it is an important part of producing consistently high-quality beef. These cattle are accustomed to people, equipment, dogs, and regular pasture moves. They come when called and have spent their lives grazing peacefully in a familiar herd.

Grass-finished beef offers a rich, true beef flavor, and purchasing a quarter or half gives your family a freezer full of locally raised steaks, roasts, ground beef, stew meat, and other cuts—all from an animal whose history you know.

When you purchase from our farm, you are supporting a small, woman-owned Vermont farm committed to animal welfare, soil health, regenerative grazing, and producing wholesome food for our community.

Quarter and half beef shares are now available. Quantities are limited.

Reserve yours at:
dumontfarmandcattlecompany.com

Please message me with any questions about pricing, processing, freezer space, or what is included in a quarter or half share.

Fill your freezer with beef you can feel good about 🥩🌱

I have a limited number of grass-fed and finished beef shares available from Dumont Farm & Cattle Company in Chelsea, Vermont.

These animals are raised on pasture using intensive rotational grazing, moved regularly to fresh grass, and handled quietly. I put a lot of care into raising calm, healthy cattle that produce high-quality beef for families who want to know exactly where their food comes from.

Available for July 29th processing:

2 Half Beef Shares
$7.25/lb hanging weight — processing included

2 Quarter Beef Shares
$7.50/lb hanging weight — processing included

Deposits are being accepted now to reserve your share. Customers who reserve by July 29th may still complete their own cut sheet with the processor.

A beef share is a great way to stock your freezer with a variety of ground beef, steaks, roasts, stew meat, ribs, brisket, soup bones, and more.

Farm pickup is expected unless otherwise discussed. Final balance is based on actual hanging weight.

You can reserve directly through my website here:

Or message me with questions. I’m happy to walk you through how hanging weight works, freezer space, cuts, pickup, and whether a quarter or half is the best fit for your family.

Another day, another stretch of temporary fence, another group of happy cows. 🐮🌱

Rotational grazing keeps them moving onto fresh grass and gives the pasture time to bounce back. I still can’t walk in a straight line to save my life, but somehow I’m getting pretty good at building one.

You may be trapped in a cubicle today, but you can rest assured that any beef you buy from us is not. 😉

Our cattle spend their days moving through green pasture, wooded edges, fresh air, sunshine, shade, streams, and all the good things cattle were meant to enjoy.

We raise our animals slowly and intentionally on grass, with room to roam, low-stress handling, and daily care that honors both the animal and the land.

That matters to us.
It matters to the soil.
And we believe you can taste the difference.

Grass-fed. Grass-finished. Pasture-raised.

Happy Mother’s Day from Dumont Farm & Cattle Company! 🌷

Today’s shoutout goes to the hardworking moms who keep this farm running — the cows raising their calves, the hens filling the nesting boxes, and all the farm mamas doing the daily work without much fuss.

Around here, motherhood looks like keeping everyone fed, protected, warm, and occasionally in line. The calves are cute, the hens are busy, and the moms deserve all the credit.

Cheers to the mamas — two-legged, four-legged, and feathered — who make this whole place possible. 🐮🐓🤍
