Pasture Walk
Steve & Debra Thorne
Pleasant Meadows Dairy
2065 5th Avenue, Edgar, WI
Steve farms with his wife and four of their children. They have had up to 90 dairy cows. They settled on 50 dairy cows, 15 steers, about 30 replacement heifers, 75 laying hens, 100 to 200 broilers, a few hogs and, at times, sheep on their 184 acre farm. Join us to hear about some unique ideas and observations at the Thorne farm. Some ideas of interest soil nutrients, interseeding small grains into pastures, irrigating parlor waste water, interseeding clovers into pasture, planting and grazing reed canary grass, buying cull dairy cows, and using nurse cows to raise all calves based on things they have seen, read about or thought about. Steve has developed a basic organic grazing farm philosophy along with direct marketing that he would like to share with others. Jeff Mattocks will also be on hand. Jeff has extensive experience with all types of livestock and works with farmers all across the U.S. and Canada customizing rations to the farmers' needs and local availability.
