3 Sisters Cattle Company

This past weekend while cycling on Whidbey Island I stopped in at 3 Sisters Cattle Company.


This is a beautiful farm near Penn Cove where they raise 100% grass fed cattle. I spent quite a while talking with the owners, Ron and Shelly Muzzall about raising cattle. It was immediately obvious to me that they are a wonderful resource for information and practical knowledge about the energetics of beef production. I am hoping to send a team of students up there in the fall to interview the Muzzall's about these issues. I envision this as part of a class project which will involve preparing a meal on an energy budget for homeless youth in the U-district.

It's always easy to have big dreams about courses that are month away.
