Last weekend at Heaven On Earth was busy! We are constantly adding interior fencing to increase the productivity of our pastures. If you haven't tried rotational grazing yet and have questions give us a call or send a message. Rotational grazing is a natural way to manage your pastures, allowing for higher quality forage for your animals, more evenly distributed fertilizer and reducing the w**ds without chemicals. Another bonus for us is that by moving pastures more frequently the Longhorns are trained to be moved and worked a lot easier allowing for a more stress free herd .

The best way to get minerals is through a balanced diet of whole, unprocessed foods. A variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, poultry, low-fat dairy products, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, eggs, and milk, provide the body with the vitamins and minerals it needs.
At Heaven On Earth we provide Grass Fed (from birth to butcher) 90-97% lean Texas Longhorn Beef.
We supply truly free range Chicken Eggs (they have 80 acres to run around on with absolutely no fencing to contain them.
We also supply Grass Fed A2A2 Jersey dairy products as well as Raw Goat Milk that are also Grass Fed. (Milk, Butter, and Mozzarella Cheese)
Our philosophy when it comes to vaccines, medications and other chemicals...
We do not vaccinated any of our livestock, we are in a livestock "island" meaning that our herd/flock are miles from other livestock.
The only medication that we use is penicillin, a truly natural product, for treating mastitis, which is a very rare occurrence.
When it comes to w**d control we refuse to use man made chemicals. We prefer using a shovel for w**d control and salt for fence line maintenance.

Grass-fed beef contains many nutrients, including:
Protein: 19.4 g per 100 g
Carbohydrates: 0 g per 4 oz serving
Fiber: 0 g per 4 oz serving
Sugar: 0 g per 4 oz serving
Antioxidants: More than grain-fed beef
Long-chain saturated fatty acids: Associated with a decreased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Omega-6 to omega-3 ratio: Can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Other nutrients in grass-fed beef include:
Water, Energy, Total lipid (fat), Ash, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Potassium.
Grass-fed beef also contains vitamin B-12, vitamin E, fatty acids, cholesterol, alcohol, and caffeine.

A2A2 Raw Jersey milk is as digestible as goat milk (which is also A2A2) Human breast milk is also A2A2.
Most milk sold at the store us A1A1 which is why there is so much lactose intolerance.

Eggs? I have to laugh when I hear egg companies bragging that there birds are vegetarian. I can assure you that given the opportunity chickens will chase bugs around the yard, God did not create them as vegetarians.
Our yolks are a deep orange due in part to the fact that insects are a large part of their diets.

For more information send me a message I will be honored to help get you the details to your questions.

The only thing round up can't kill.
Henbit...by the way, it has great medicinal properties. And is a great source of nectar for honey bees.

I just want to remind everyone that when you have to forage for your own food due to the predicted food shortage,
THESE ARE NOT CORNDOGS!

An old rancher went to a town hall meeting. The local politician was there to talk about the latest Ag legislation he proposed.
The politician talked about grazing, property rights, irrigation, and how the government could help the generational ranchers of the area.
After listening to the impassioned promises put forth by the politician, the old rancher raised his hand to ask a question.
Seeing that he had the attention of the weathered old rancher, and thinking he could score some points, the politician took the old man's question....

Old man: "Senator, did you know that cows, horses and goats eat the same feed?"

Senator: "Yes sir, everybody knows that!"

Old man: "Then senator, can you tell me why cows p**p patties, horses p**p cubes, and goats p**p pellets?"

Senator: "How would I know the reason for such a simple thing like p**p?"

Old man: "Then senator, can you tell me how a man who doesn't know crap, can help me run my ranch?"

About 12 years ago we picked up this feeder at a garage sale. We had still always used the half gallon bottles with ni***es on them for feeding calves when it was necessary. Last week I went and bought replacement teats for this feeder. And who knew how superior this is to the bottles. Less than 18 hours old and this guy is a pro. I actually didn't mind getting drooled on and milk running down my hands, my legs and well just all over, but when I realized that I could actually look at the calf while they are nursing I could get a good idea about his structure, his conformation, and soundness, I was hooked on this.
Ours is a 3 ni**le feeder from Milk Bar. It has 3 compartments that hold about a gallon each and an upper area that could hold around 4 more gallons if needed.
Cacao, Our jersey/longhorn orphan is kind of fond of it too.
The teats do not collapse like the bottle ni***es, or get bit open, which means, the milk gets delivered to the calves mouth in a more measured amount and prevents fluids from getting into the lungs.

Every able body person should sign up for their local department. Just an FYI, it's not just about running into a burning building, that's mostly Hollywood anyway. It's about pulling a child out of a wrecked vehicle, it's about helping a disabled person get out of bed, or their chair. It's about being there for your fellow human. And animals, had my share of rescuing them from collapsed buildings after tornadoes. It's about love, love for your community and helping it in times of need so that the next generation can enjoy what it has given to you.
I promise that if you join, you won't regret it.

We need to make sure that we are not killing these amazing creatures. End indiscriminate pesticide applicating, ban certain pesticides altogether. Quit killing the first nectar (dandelions).
Bees produce Honey only as a byproduct of pollinating virtually everything you eat, even the meat is made possible through the pollination of the forages they consume. Honey has an antibiotic and antibacterial quality when applied to wounds.
Can help allergy sufferers if it is local (50 miles).
Now they are even detectingcertain forms of cancer.

Do you feel like everything is dark in your life and you feel like your buried by everything going on?

Let me assure you that you have just been planted, and you will grow because of those times.

Stay strong and know that God is control of the situation, He knows what you need, and will provide the soil, the water, the nutrients and the sunshine all at the appropriate time.
