Our ruminants include cattle for dairy production and livestock. Built right in to the definition of ruminant is details about these animals’ unique digestive system which is a marvelous process of regurgitation. Sounds kinda gross (we get it!) but this process is natures sustainability! Cows are amazing creatures, and at Royal Family Farms we have focused on happy cows that do good for us! Our dairy cows spend most of their time in barns and on the dairy in the open lots and their dry beds are catered to daily. Beef cows spend most of their time on pasture, doing what they love--grazing. Both of these ruminants have customized diets that have been planned by a certified nutritionist.
"Someday, I hope to pass my dairy onto my kids, and watch them farm even better than I am today. After all, this farm is my family’s home.” - Austin Allred
