We see soil, plants, animals and people as one connected system.
Organic and regenerative
At Biofarma Rašovice, we see soil, plants, animals and people as a connected whole. Food quality begins in the landscape where it is produced. That is why we combine organic farming with regenerative management.
We care for diverse pastures, natural animal nutrition and recovery after grazing. We want fertile soil, a landscape that retains water and food with a known origin. We want to pass on living soil that can continue to feed the next generation.
We use the Total Grazing method promoted by Jaime Elizondo of Real Wealth Ranching. We regularly move the herd between grazing areas and allow the grazed plants time to recover.
We adapt grazing and recovery periods to plant growth, weather and soil conditions. Our goal is productive pasture that supports our animals while maintaining soil cover and long-term resilience.

Through photosynthesis, plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Some of this carbon enters the soil through roots and plant residues and can become part of soil organic matter.
Well-managed grazing may support soil restoration and carbon storage under suitable conditions. We aim to encourage these processes and protect existing soil carbon. Outcomes depend on local conditions and management over time; our aim is a landscape better prepared for drought and heavy rain.
We want rain to soak in where it falls and remain available to plants during drier periods. We care for vegetation cover, roots and soil structure, and consider soil moisture when planning grazing.
Covered soil is better protected from overheating and the impact of raindrops. Roots and soil organisms help create pores through which water can move into the soil. Organic matter contributes to water retention. We see this as long-term care for the whole landscape.
We select Aberdeen Angus for a smaller, moderate frame, forage capacity, early maturity and maternal efficiency. These priorities are intended to support winter grazing, first calving at two years and a high calf weaning weight relative to the dam’s mature liveweight.
We inseminate our heifers using semen from Dunlouise Angus to support this direction. Spring calving helps us align the cow’s nutritional needs with the season’s fresh forage.
