[Holland Farm]

Hi! New member here We live in Florida and raise cows, goats, pigs and chickens for our family. We like the idea of knowing that what we are eating has been humanly raised with out antibiotics. All our animals are on pasture all day. We are struggling with finding a good feed that is non-GMO for our animals that also won’t break the bank. My husband feels it’s important that the cows get corn because he feels it helps with the taste and fat, but it’s important to me that I know that they are all getting a good feed, that does not have GMO. Can anyone recommend a good feed that you are using? We unfortunately don’t have any local mills that I could buy feed from. Any help or advice is appreciated!! Thank you

Feed is so darned expensive now, just like everything else. How many cattle and how many acres do you have? Is it possible to raise your own corn? If raising a couple of steers for slaughter, you can grass raise them, then finish them with corn the last 8 weeks before slaughter.
