The Beams keep their birds healthy and as comfortable as possible, because, as Daniel says, "comfortable and healthy birds pay better." Their environmental stewardship includes implementing the use of a litter shed and compost bins.

Daniel says they got into poultry because it is a good way to create cash flow off a small amount of acreage and leaves the rest of the farm available for other enterprises. The Beams also raise sheep and beef cattle. Like any farmer, Daniel says his favorite part of raising poultry is when they have a good, healthy flock of birds, and equipment is humming away properly!
