Bruce and Nancy Rivington, along with their family, own and operate Red Gate Farm, which is located in the southern hills of Madison County. The colorful herd of Ayrshire and cross bred cows calve seasonally each spring so that they give most of their delicious milk while receiving fresh grass twice daily during the growing season. Almost two decades of rotational grazing experience enable them to keep the lush paddocks of their all grass farm at their best. All young stock also live on this fine grass throughout the summer. The Rivington family's passion for grazing is evident throughout the hill and valley fields of their beautiful farm. Bruce is also a member of Prograssinator.
