Marrow bones. Deep nutrition from our pastures. Only available at the Spier Farm Food Store which is open every day from 9am to 4pm.

The greatest source of fertility on the farm is the cowpat, see all the plants starting in it. Conventional beef production loses this source by first not doing rotational grazing and second by concentrating cattle in a feedlot they create a huge disease problem.

Engineers are the best people. They know exactly how much water is in the glass as opposed to optimists/pessimists. I have been reminded of this truism working with Renier from ERC Engineering on our soap mould making project. Farmer Angus Beef tallow soap soon...

Yesterday evening on the pastures where the sheep are grazing. The Dormer lambs are growing fast. Mr Donkey protects them from the Rooikat. We move them every day to fresh pasture.

This is my last Tweet. Since 2012 the platform has become increasingly user unfriendly. Spamming me with who I like likes etc etc. Also they are now censoring any view in violation of their worshipping of big business. I am on Instagram @farmerangusspier. See you there.
