In this live farm tour episode from July this year, I visited Julie Friend and her farm, Wildom Farm, a regenerative livestock farm where cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs are raised together on pasture and in forest systems. The discussion covers daily pasture rotation, animal behavior, predator dynamics, soil health, and how regenerative management affects animal welfare, meat quality, and ecosystem resilience. The farmer walks through real trade-offs, processing challenges, and why transparency and letting people visit farms matters.Key Topics Daily rotational grazing and mobile infrastructureRaising cows, sheep, and chickens together in one systemForest-raised pork, forage diversity, and meat qualityPredator balance, animal behavior, and welfare trade-offsProcessing bottlenecks, frozen meat, and food transparencyWhat You’ll Learn in This EpisodeHow cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs can be managed together in a single pasture-based system without confinementWhy daily animal movement improves pasture health, soil biology, and animal welfareHow forest-raised pigs and diverse forage directly influence meat flavor and qualityThe practical trade-offs of regenerative farming, including predators, hay quality, and laborWhy transparency, farm visits, and frozen meat matter for trust in the food systemJulie InstagramWildom Farm InstagramWebsiteTimestamps 00:00:00 – Daily pasture moves and extending the grazing season 00:04:00 – Mobile shade and infrastructure without trees 00:07:45 – Starting the cow herd and choosing heritage breeds 00:10:30 – Grassland birds, hay timing, and ecological trade-offs 00:14:10 – Letting customers walk the farm and see the animals 00:18:00 – Why cows, sheep, and chickens are run together 00:22:00 – Forest-raised pigs and whey feeding from a local creamery 00:30:00 – How forage diversity changes the taste of pork 00:37:30 – Fatty acid testing and nutrition in pork and chicken 00:43:30 – Processing bottlenecks and booking a year ahead 00:45:30 – On-farm slaughter vs USDA facilities 00:53:30 – Farm store transparency and frozen meat
