STUCKEY FAMILY CATTLE
Registered Polled Hereford Since 1959


OUR COMMITMENT
We promise to be good stewards of the land. We are grass farmers. Our hills were created to grow grass. Our cattle convert the grass to a product that can be consumed and is useful for humans. Our well-managed grass farm with its grazing animals benefits the planet. A paper released by the Natural Resources Conservation of the United States Department of Agriculture makes the following points:




  • Grazing animals eat plants that cannot be digested by humans.
  • Meat from grass-fed animals requires only one calorie of fossil fuel to produce two calories of food. Many grain and vegetable crops require from 5 to 10 calories of fossil-fuel for every calorie of food or fiber produced.
  • Well-managed pasture absorbs far more rain water than most other land uses.
  • Grazed lands help slow global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the air.
  • Grazing land in the Great Plains contain over 40 tons of carbon per acre. Cultivated soil contains about 26 tons.
  • Well-managed grazing lands provide much-needed habitat for wildlife, reduce water runoff, and provide cleaner, more abundant water for wildlife and human use.

Grazing lands are among our most picturesque landscapes in the Midwest. We are passionate about doing this the right way and are committed to bringing a quality product to your family.
