We have been doing research over the past couple weeks on different grasses and their silage nutritional value. Using a combo of books, google, and university experts we're getting excited about incorporating sorghum sudangrass. Other fun options include... believe it or not... sunflowers! Still doing our homework on what polyculture system will work best for our climate, cattle nutrition, and overall program but always fun to try to push the envelope on regenerative agriculture practices.

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Parmesan Polenta and Roasted Carrots Recipe

Few dishes capture comfort like braised short ribs. The aroma of slow-cooked beef, rich sauce, and creamy polenta creates that unmistakable feeling of a meal worth slowing down for.
