Payment Process Updates

We have had a busy few years, and we have continued to break ground on new projects, and improve our existing systems and infrastructure.  Jacob has been hard at work improving the look and feel of the website, as well as its functionality.  Thanks for your great work, Jacob!

Our earlier system required invoices be sent and paid each month, which works well enough.  But to make things easier, we have now established automatic payments, which do not require that we send invoices.  It also simplifies things for our customers, since they will not need to resend their payments each month.

Existing Customers:

How to switch to automatic payments:

Navigate to the following link:

https://www.turningleafranch.com/order/subscribe

On the right hand side, find the drop down menu shown below:

Choose your option (goat, lamb, or a mix of both), and choose a quantity.

Once you've specified your meat selection and weight, click the PayPal Subscribe button:

You'll click through the next few screens, and submit when you're ready.  Once we receive your automatic subscription, we'll cancel your earlier subscription so you no longer receive monthly invoices!


New Customers:

Go through the same steps above, and you'll be set up with automatic payments right from the beginning of your subscription.

The Current and Future Herd Composition of Turning Leaf Ranch

 When we began marketing our pasture-raised animals to the public, we believed that our grass-fed lamb would be our flagship product.  The whole-animal lamb sales we had done in the past were met with rave reviews, and our own culinary experience with the lamb led us to believe that it truly is a remarkable offering.  We raise a breed of sheep (American Blackbelly) that is known to have one of the premier flavor profiles of all sheep breeds, especially when grass-fed and pasture-raised.  The first round of animals that we had processed for market were four lambs, and one goat, as we had assumed the demand for the two types of animals would be asymmetric toward lamb. As we soon found out, however, the market for goat meat is remarkably underdeveloped, with few producers, who struggle to meet the demand of a very large and underserved market.  Among these producers, many follow "conventional" practices, feeding concentrates to accelerate growth to a large size as ...

Bulk Hay Purchase - Fall and Winter Feed at TLR

Image
 Throughout the season, we make various bulk purchases of hay to get us through the dry summer months, and the slow-growing winter.  Historically we have experimented with wide array of options for feeding hay, including Bermuda hay, orchard grass, oat hay, teff grass, and alfalfa.  Based on this experimentation, we have found that alfalfa gives the best return on investment, with high protein content, high palatability, and high utilization by the animals.  Alfalfa is the gold standard for protein, and all other feeds use alfalfa by way of comparison for the amount and quality of protein they contain.  Alfalfa is also high in minerals (the "Ash" content in the image below), which ensures that the animals are not eating empty calories, and are instead eating a ration that truly produces healthy animals and healthy meat.  Alfalfa has a digestible energy content of 10.7 megajoules per kilogram of dry matter, and sorghum Sudan grass has a digestible energy con...

Biden Administration Pushes for Meat Processing Diversification

Image
 When we think of a meat butcher, many of us think of the familiar picture of the portly gentleman in a white smock, preparing cuts of meat right down the road for us to purchase fresh as can be.  And of course, we all know this picture is largely outdated, save for a few exceptions.  Instead, the modern meat packing plant consists of a huge team of employees all trained with highly specialized skills (rather than the broad-spectrum knowledge of butchers in the past).  The production line is essentially a (dis)assembly line, with each worker making a limited number of repetitive motions to accomplish one narrow portion of the butchering task, as the product moves by at a set speed on meat hooks and conveyers.  Employees work in close proximity to one-another, and conditions are ripe for a highly contagious disease like Covid-19.  The meat packing industry has also consolidated over time,  just like every industry has, with the bulk of the supply moving...
