NCAT Gulf States’ Felicia Bell will be hosting NCAT Grazing Specialist Justin Morris for this workshop on the benefits of shrubs and trees for livestock production. 

Often looked upon as a nuisance or unusable to the landowner, shrubs and trees can be a valuable resource for any livestock operation. In this workshop, Justin will discuss how shrubs and trees can:

  • Improve carrying capacity and stocking rate
  • Improve animal health
  • Insulate the farm or ranch from drought
  • Improve profitability

This workshop is free. Click here to register in Zoom.

We raise Finnish Landrace Sheep (Finnsheep), Boer Goats, Hereford cross cattle, and Duroc/Hampshire Pigs. Our Animals are part of our everyday life as well as our livelihood. We are located in the Pacific Northwest at the edge of the ponderosa forest just west of the Rocky Mountains near Spokane, WA. Our farm is based on the concept of holistic farming and permaculture. We raise and feed all our animals organic hays and grains grown by ourselves and other small family farms in our community. This farm produces Fiber for spinning, felting and weaving. We also sell handspun yarns and do custom spinning for your projects as well as create artisan made items from our hands to your home. We are a family committed to the agricultural concept of the FAMILY FARM being the best way to produce the products our society needs while being careful stewards of our environment and good caretakers of the animals entrusted to our care. We breed and sell quality seed stock from our farm with special discounts for 4H and FFA members. Please email with any questions about animals available for purchase or if you experience any difficulty with this site.
