WSU/Tilth Farm Walk - Lopez Isl, WA

Sweet Grass Farm Beef: Innovative Managment

Monday, April 28, 2008 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Scott Meyers and Brigit Waring have been producing and marketing grass finished Wagyu beef since 2002. They create a balance between the cattle, the pasture, and the personal aspects of the farm. Scott produces bedding for the winter and high quality finish forage for steers from mid-summer to fall. He'll show how his ‘home-made’ sensitive fencing and water systems minimize labor requirements and stress. Scott & Brigit will demonstrate in-field livestock sorting and share their management protocols and other zero-stress management techniques critical to producing quality 100% grass-fed and finished finished beef. Pre-register for Anacortes ferry walk-on carpooling. Recommended ferries: leave 12:40 from Anacortes, arrive 1:20 Lopez Is. Depart 5:40 from Lopez Is., arrive 6:20 in Anacortes.
