Miniature Cattle and Natural Grass-fed Beef from Dayspring Farm, VT.

Dayspring Farm is a small hill farm in southeastern Vermont. We raise Registered Fullblood American Lowline Cattle for breeding stock and freezer beef. Lowline Cattle  are a distinct cattle breed based on genetics derived from small old fashioned Aberdeen Angus stock and bred to be a superior, easily managed miniature beef animal with impressive efficiencies producing premium meats from grass and hay alone.  These animals are a joy to  raise being easy on fences, excellent grazers, gentle and healthy animals.

Why Miniature Cattle?

Miniature cattle are really closer to what cattle size was years ago. Naturally gentle, these smaller cows easily deliver small calves, are a pleasure to work with and to handle, and eat half the amount of feed as a full sized bovine. Lowline cattle produce volumes of tasty, marbled, tender and healthful beef on grass feed alone and because of the greater stocking rates, higher cutout percentages and naturally small bones can give the farmer more beef per acre than the standard beef cattle breeds. In addition Lowlines produce valuable and in demand offspring for breeding purposes. Maybe the question should be why not Miniature Lowline cattle?

We pay special attention to our soils and livestocks food sources because we believe that healthy soils and crops make for healthy animals and people. We sell meat by the cut, freezer pack or side. We ship some of our grass fed beef and meat products to the New England states and to NY and NJ on Tuesdays. All our meats are packed under USDA inspection, vacuum sealed and frozen.
