to see if this was a viable option. And it was like, we almost got to the point where people would knock on the door going, I heard you had beef for sale. And we're like, we're all out. It was like this backdoor beef sales. Yeah, exactly. But it worked. So we did end up keeping on.
So on our six acres, we actually ended up with a herd of like 23 head of cattle, but we leased two 10 acre grazing around us. So we were able to raise them. you know, from May through to October and then bring them home and feed them haylage, et cetera.

No, we don't. So our, we do Wagyu. So Wagyu is our kind of main breeding stock. So we have our full blood Wagyu and then we also have our F1s and F2s. So our cross breed is Highlands and Galloways.

So there's not, I'm sure I'll get yelled at this. There's no such thing as miniature cattle. It's a dwarf gene. Like people just breed for it, but it's not a breed. Like, I don't know. Miniature cattle. No, no,

Yeah, so our F1s is just our standard beef, but it has that buttery flavor of Wagyu. And even though we don't feed any grain, it's beautifully marbled. You can cut it with a fork. Galloways are slightly faster growing than highlands. Highlands, in Scotland, a highland cow is actually considered a premium breed.

They're very slow in growing, so you can't really process them until at least 36 months. So they're always going to be in OTM But that slow growth lays itself to this beautiful, thick marbling. Like it's not being pounded with grain for 18 months and then sent to harvest. It's grown slowly. So they have, they're more expensive than Angus.

Like if you want to order like a prime river, something Highland is like a premium beef. For our model, they're a little bit too slow growing, so we're moving away from highlands, but we chose them because they suit our environment. It's rugged, it's mountainous, it's extreme cold, extreme heat, that they do really well. They thrive, so it's less input for the same output, if that makes sense.
