Welcome to Green Pastures Farm!
We’re Greg and Jan Judy. We live in Rucker, Missouri, 24 miles northwest of Columbia. Our grazing operation includes 16 farms, four owned and 12 leased. We graze grass genetic South Poll cows, cow/calf pairs, bred heifers, bulls, stockers and a parasite resistant St. Croix hair sheep flock. Our emphasis is on working in balance with nature and keeping inputs low. To us that means:
• We use no hormone implants, no worming, no fly ear tags, no insecticide pasture back rubs. We have 450 tree swallow bird houses installed around our farms that help with natural fly control on our livestock
• Calves and lambs are weaned naturally by their mothers
• Livestock graze rich fresh pasture and get fresh, clean water every day
We’re Passionate About Two Things
Healthy Farms
If we can mimic nature, and try and stay out of her way as much possible, our land is healthier, our water is healthier, our animals are healthier, and we’re going to build soil, we’re going to regenerate these farms, and we’re going to have a good quality of life.
Healthy Farmers
Giving back to our farming community, to the current generation and the next, drives us to share what we’ve learned – what worked and what didn’t. We want to help you find your path to success.
