We use only organic fertilizers.  Organic fertilizers affect the soil differently than chemical fertilizer. Organics have a wide range of nutrients & micro nutrients that are needed to nuture the soil. Organic fertilized pasture or hay is more drought tolerant than chemical fertilized soil. Organic also equalizes the PH. Soil that has been repeatedly treated with chemicals is reffered to as "dead" soil. Organic fertilizers go beyond natural ingredients. They are certified free of pesticide & herbicide residue. Many organic amendments & fertilizers come from fields sprayed with toxic chemicals. The most abused by chemicals may be cottonseed meal. This natural product is one of the most heavily sprayed crops and the residue that is left behind in the meal can be significant. Our fertilizers have met the highest criteria and are approved for organic production.
 
A few years ago we fertilized with CHICKEN LITTER. About 4 days after fertilizing I put horses in the pasture. They all acted like they had foundered. I had the vet out to check them. He said they had ARSENIC poisening from grazing on the field too soon after applying Chicken Litter. Do you really want to eat meat or produce from a field fertilized with ARSENIC?? If you put organic fertilized hay and chemical fertilized hay in front of cows or sheep, they will eat the organic fertilized hay and leave the other. Sometimes I think animals are smarter than humans.
 
For fertilizing our grass for the Lowline Angus and Dorper sheep at Rockin L, we looked at all fertilizer options and after looking at farms using organic fertilizer and checking on cost we fertilized with a mixture of fish emulsion, Humic Acid, Molassis & Agrispon. I believe it to be healthy for land, Animals and environment.
