Here is a Cattle Feeding System which might work for Carrot farmers of Cordillera.
American Cattle Farmer Justin Pettit of Santa Carota Beef in Bakersfield, California, finishes cattle on upcycled waste carrots instead of traditional grain.
“Founded by the Pettit family in California, Santa Carota Beef upcycles up to 1 million pounds of culled carrots and carrot mash daily from major local producers like Grimmway Farms.
“Cattle are raised on grass and then finished on a diet primarily consisting of carrots, which are about 90% water and rich in natural beta-carotene.
“Benefits: The high moisture content in carrots inflates muscle tissue to create juicy, flavorful meat that grades as USDA Choice and Prime without using grain, hormones, or antibiotics.”
This Cattle Feeding System could help Cordillera farmers utilize Culled Carrots and also make use of excess production, especially when prices are low.
The Dept of Agriculture could introduce High-Value Cattle or Dairy Farming to Cordillera Vegetable Farmers as an income generating enterprise.
The cool climate of the Cordilleras may prove to be advantageous to farmers who will raise Cattle for meat or dairy production.
