Our Farm
Welcome to our farm. My name is Dan Glenn, and for four generations my family has owned and farmed this land. We are dedicated stewards of soil, animal, and human health. Our goal at Deep Grass Graziers is to regenerate soil health while producing seedstock that is profitable in a minimum input system. We believe our genetics and our selection criteria ensure that our bulls and replacement females will thrive in most environments under modest management. We stress early fertility, don't prop up our cattle with substitute feeding, and don't make excuses for those who don't make the cut, they instead make the plate.
We finish our open heifers and a handful of steers on high quality forages, and handle them with respect and admiration, to ensure you are overwhelmed by our grass finished beef. We believe grass-finished fat is healthy and provides a superior eating experience, and we always wait until our animals are fully finished before harvesting.
I also represent these values as a board member on the executive committee of the National Grazing Lands Coalition, upcoming Vice-President of the American Forage and Grassland Council, Vice-Chairman of SSARE, and past president of the Georgia Forage and Grassland Council. I also serve on the board of the NCBA Sustainability Advisory Group. This work has led to new friendships, a stronger network, and some good research and policy in the works. If you have any questions about any of these organizations or would like to play a role, please reach out.

Grazing Pivot
With 8 different groups of animals (replacement heifers, 2 year old bulls, registered Red Angus, yearling bulls, etc.) grazing in one place, management can get complicated. The grazing pivot helps by having permanent infrastructure we can subdivide down in many different ways. Irrigation means we can't blame mother nature for running out of grass. We have two paddocks dedicated to polyculture, no-till annuals, two paddocks for tillage annuals, and 4 paddocks filled with hybrid bermuda grass overseeded with legumes. We are measuring
the soil health characteristics of these 3 management practices to get an idea for what's best for the land. In the future, we hope to set up an automatic weighing system to have better data on pounds of beef produced per acre on each management system.
