Every year on the last Saturday of May, the entire Glebe neighbourhood turns into a garage sale. This year Grazing Days was there and managed to speak to about 200 people about Grazing Days and how people can sign up to start receiving deliveries of delicious Ottawa grass-fed Beef!
Making these videos was pretty fun – I hope you enjoy:
This video provides a brief overview of Grazing Days, how we deliver beef and some of the reasons behind why we do what we do:
This second video is an average day in the life of a Grazing Days farmer:
Finally, after a few weeks of waiting for the weather to clear and the ground to dry so that we could get a truck into the field, 30 one year old heifers (a young female bovine that has not yet had a calf) arrived in the Grazing Days pastures on Wednesday, 26 May 2011.
At 9:30 am, the truck delivering the first group of 15 heifers pulled into the field and dropped off 2 red angus, 12 black angus, and 1 black angus with white patches on its face. Later, at 4:00 pm the second group of 4 red angus and 11 black angus arrived. It sure is easier to get the cattle off the truck than it is to get them on one!
The average weight of each cattle when they arrived was about 810 lbs. We know that the average calf weighs about 55lbs when they are born and they gain about 2 lbs a day until they are full grown. From this we can calculate the approximate birthdate of these heifers was approximately the 13th of May in 2010…

Apparently this summer has been one of the hotest Ottawa summers on record. While the cows are grazing and chewing their cud in the cool grass outside, some of the Grazing Days office work has been taking place in an overheated indoor appartment… until now…
The Grazing Days office is moving to a more spacious house with patio and backyard access! Oh Yeah!
The new Grazing Days address is now:
166 Glebe Ave.
Ottawa, Ontario, K1S 2C5
How exciting is this! It’s 2:35am and it is starting to look like Grazing Days has a website. Seven days ago I naively thought that pulling together a website would be a piece of cake. I guess I was wrong, but no harm done – look at this puppy now! Please enjoy!
