Big Horn Ranch
Watershed Conservation Services
A FAMILY owned company.
Welcome to Big Horn Ranch...capitalizing from nature's cycle. This is not a new concept. Mankind has been growing food for sustenance for over ten thousand years. It was simple survival then...clear a spot in the forest, use the rich forest humus as a growing medium and produce food. Soil nutrients, sunshine, and rain. Wholesome nutrious food! As the world's population has exploded, we as a people are forced to rely more on mechanized production agriculture using the soil more as an inert substrate to prop up our food plants while we add petroleum based fertilizers to feed the plants, irrigation to water them at times, and if we could...artificial sunshine. This mass production is required to feed a hungry world. The mission of Big Horn Ranch is to turn the clock back a couple hundred years to produce quality grassfed meats using manure based soil nutrients, sunshine, and the animal's natural grazing habits to turn these quality forages into healthy and nutritious meats.
OUR OFFICE- The corporate office of Big Horn Ranch couples it's mission philosophy of simplicity in nature...from my computer desk (my lap), I can see a mink scramble across the ice of my pond. Beneath the ice are rainbow trout fattening for a June evening cookout on the mayfly larvae growing in the pond side brush. The mountain spring that feeds the pond also provides water for all our livestock and the two houses on our farm. Looking across the pond are pastures laying dormant for early May soil temperatures to release the clover, timothy, and wild grass seeds to gorge themselves on the nutrients from the compost applied in April. Beef , poultry and pork will grow from this grass...depositing nutrients for next year's cycle...been that way 10,000 years.
