Red Leg Farms currently has a fold of 20 head of mostly Scottish Highland cattle and a flock of 25 Katahdin haired sheep. Livestock  are on pasture year-round and grass fed using holistic management  practices and managed grazing. Finished animals are direct  marketed as 100% grass fed and sold to customers by the 1/2 or  whole. There are 108 acres total, mostly pasture used for rotational  grazing, including a 22-acre leased former crop land which is being  converted to pasture and a 7-acre silvopasture project planned for  summer 2023.
