This JUST IN  from Jungle Jake... "In observence of Monte's no trespassing order, I sit ensconced behind my telescope on the bank of Deserted River. (The law in Costa Rica says 20 meters on either side of a river is public property). So lately on a star'lit night I watched as Hannah's cows go marching out to pasture and start eating out of this giant salad bar. When a German Red piped up and demanded, "MORE THISTLE PLEASE!" is when I just about fell into the river."
 
Amazing things actually are happening at Mighty Rivers Eco-farm. Like observing and listening to our animals. Our cows are not just numbers assigned a fixed ration concocted by scientists. They each have names, get plenty of individual attention, and are given a choice in what to eat. Our observation is that when jungle grasses and foliage are replaced by lush, cultivated grass, cows still reach for portions of the sour, bitter or prickly stuff. They show us what their bodies need, especially when they're raised without any artifical hormones and very little antibiotics. Cows are not as stupid as commonly thought.
 
It is common practice both in rural North America and Costa Rica for farmers to feed their cows a ration consisting of a large quantity of grain, animal biproducts, chicken manure, and hormone altering drugs. We believe it is much more practical and healthy for animals to have a low grain diet and to allow them to graze in fresh pasture grasses which are rotated frequently, insuring that their food is fresh and tender. It's important too, to give them a choice of legumes and large leaf plants such as banana, jute, sugar cane, and shrubbery. Some of these plants need to be cultivated, harvested, and chopped for the animal's consumption. Although time consuming, the end result is healthier meat and milk, improved environment for nature, and animals that live longer. 

Whether beef, dairy, poultry, or hogs, we prefer nature's method. It's a beauty to behold, and tastes good, too!!
