Grassway Farm

Some days are long, the seasons are short, and somehow the kids keep growing right along with them. School starts next week, and move-in day for my college freshman is right around the corner.

Grateful for a safe summer, and that the kids could work alongside the farmers.

What a fun day at the Iowa State Fair! 🎡 We got to see the sights, enjoy some fair food and celebrate a very special moment—our daughter was crowned Alternate Iowa Dairy Princess.

We are so excited to watch her represent Iowa’s dairy farmers and connect with consumers across the state. What a day and what a memory!

Our August beef is officially SOLD OUT!

We’re so thankful that every animal was reserved as quarter and half beef, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support.

Because of that, we won’t have individual cuts available again until September—unless those are pre-purchased in bulk, too.

If you’ve been thinking about filling your freezer, we’re now accepting pre-orders for September through December quarter and half beef.

Selling beef in bulk is the most efficient way for our farm to operate, but we also know it’s not the right fit for everyone. Whether you buy a quarter, a half, or a few individual cuts throughout the year, every purchase supports our family farm, and we’re truly thankful for each and every one of you.

Thank you for choosing to know your farmer and where your food comes from.

That’s a wrap on fair week! ❤️

So proud of these kids and the work they put in all week. They care for their calves with very little help from Mom or Dad, and watching their independence, responsibility, and dedication is special.

We’re grateful for another week of beautiful weather, great memories, and time spent with friends.

Now it’s back to the real world… chores are waiting!

A small group of cattle are officially out on pasture with their new virtual fencing collars!

First day, and so far, so good. They’re learning the boundaries faster than we expected. It’s amazing to be able to set the boundaries up on our phones, and then check the location of each animal.

But… if you happen to see a herd of cows gone wild in Allamakee County, just know we’re still in the “learning curve” phase. 😅

Fair week prep is officially underway. Clipping calves for the Fayette County Fair, and packing the trailer with all the essentials. A week spent showing cattle, making memories with friends, and (their favorite part) taking a break from farm chores. Wishing everyone a great fair week!

Can you guess what’s on the agenda for tomorrow?

Our 18-species summer mix is ready to chop and store for cattle feed! This diverse mix provides a great balance of minerals, energy, and protein for our cattle.

We’re very grateful for the dry weather this week—it’s been a LONG time since we’ve had a full week without rain!

Just trying to show off the clover… but Dad’s camera skills had other plans.

A few bloopers, a few bad angles, but hey—the clover still looks good!

The future of grazing is here!

Our new solar-powered virtual fencing collars have officially arrived, so they’re soaking up some sunshine before we get them out on the cows.

We’re excited to see how this technology helps us manage grazing, improve pasture utilization, and make moving cattle a little easier. Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing how they work once they’re out in the pasture!
