Protocols

We should not even need to list this, as no GMOs are ever used on our farms in the production of either produce or livestock.

Our cattle and sheep don't even know what grain is! They are always raised outdoors. We rotationally graze as long as we weather allows, and give them dry hay during the harsh Missouri winters to help supplement nutrition.

ALL the livestock and poultry here at David's Pasture receive a full dose of salad-bar and sunshine every day, 24/7, with only the exception of young chicks and livestock given indoor access during the harsh winter months.

These smoked and/or cured value-added products (hams,bacon,etc.) do not contain any added nitrites or nitrates. As a result, these products are not considered cured by the USDA.

This applies to seasoned value-added products. These products are made with only organic ingredients.

These cuts are from grass-fed beef or lamb that never consumed corn or soy in it's lifetime. We graze our ruminants year-round; we move them daily on green grass whenever possible, and we supplement with grass hay in the winter.

This seasoned and/or value-added product contains no sugar.

These items are not Certified Organic, but are being grown under Organic practices by a farm currently in the Organic transition period.

This applies to any cooked, smoked, or seasoned products that have been made at a USDA facility. These items do not contain gluten nor have they come in contact with it.

Always. We do believe that it is better to treat an animal than to let it suffer, but in the event that we must treat with antibiotics to save an animals life, we will cull them (or in Laymen's terms, sell her off.) *Hormones are no longer allowed by the FDA in the production of poultry.
