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. 🐮🐓🤍

Our last calf of the season was born late yesterday afternoon to a first-time mom — a gorgeous little bull calf, about 70 pounds, with the sweetest dark curly coat.

He is out of the same family line as another calf born earlier this year who has some white on her face and chest. It has been really fun to watch the color variations show up in this calf crop. The calves from this line have had a very similar look, with reddish or black tinting depending on whether their mom is a red or black cow.

This year we are feeling very grateful to have eight healthy calves on the ground — five bulls and three heifers.

It has been a busy season, but a good one. We are really liking what we are seeing from these calves and are excited to watch them grow. 🐮

It may have been quiet here on Facebook, but it has definitely not been quiet on the farm.

Sometimes when you’re balancing life as a soccer mom, farmer, and nurse, something has to give. This time, what gave was keeping the page updated.

Meanwhile, life on the farm has been moving right along. We’ve had seven cows calve so far, with one more due any day now. Pictures are coming soon.

We’re also currently helping one mama cow recover from mastitis while supporting her calf until her milk supply comes back. Thankfully, mom is very easy to work with. She was bottle-raised herself after her own mom rejected her, so she has been especially cooperative through all of this.

For now, mom and calf are temporarily separated so she can heal and the antibiotic can stay in the treated quarter where it needs to work, rather than being nursed out by the calf. The calf is doing some supervised nursing on the untreated quarters and getting supplemental milk replacer as needed.

I believe in using antibiotics when they are truly needed for life-saving or welfare reasons. I do not use them often. I’ve owned cows since 2011, and this is only the second time I’ve had to use antibiotics. In this case, the treatment is intramammary rather than systemic, which allows me to target the problem directly while reducing unnecessary whole-body exposure, side effects, and overuse.

The reality is that farm life is full, busy, and always shifting. Sometimes posting falls to the bottom of the list, but the work of caring for these animals never does. Thanks for being here, and thanks for following along. More pictures soon.

Calving season is off to a beautiful start here at Dumont Farm and Cattle Company.

We welcomed an 80 lb bull calf to kick off the season, and I really couldn’t ask for a better start. Mom had him cleaned up, passed the placenta, and he was up and nursing great right away. She’s doing exactly what I breed for — strong natural instincts, calving ease, and good mothering ability.

That matters. I select for cows that can do their job well with minimal intervention, because good moms lead to stronger, healthier calves and a smoother calving season overall. Less stress on the animals, less work for me, and better outcomes all around.

This little guy is vigorous, healthy, and already off to a great start. And thankfully, my midwife services are not needed on the farm today, so I can head into the hospital world to take care of others.

A pretty perfect way to start the season.
